program for alumni and interested community members. The tradition of volunteerism and libraries goes back to Ben Franklin’s day when he envisioned a “public library ” to bring literacy and books to the common man. Today, literacy and adult “reading ” programs are being offered by libraries and government agencies with the help of volunteer educators and community members. Cheryl Meaux, the Library’s Development officer, is spearheading our work with Pacesetters on campus to enlist interested individuals. VIPs may assist the Library at fund raising events, participate as docent tour leaders or lend their unique talents to help the Library accomplish its mission of information and education. VIPs will receive free parking and a free library card to borrow books. Anyone interested in becoming a “very important person ” to the Cal Poly Pomona Library, should contact Cheryl Meaux at x3086
