Congratulations, Friends Book Sorters! The group received the 2011 Volunteer of the Year Award at an April 25 ceremony hosted by the Volunteer Center of Durham. Nominated by Ann Wilder, President of the Friends of the Durham Library, the 20-plus book sorters were chosen over twelve other outstanding Durham volunteer groups.

Pictured are (L-R standing) Ann McNally, Judy Shepard, Jane Goodridge, Dutton Moore, Carol Ann Walters, Andy Broughton, Pat Harriss, Kay Clarke-Keffer, Floyd Hardy, (L-R seated) Cathy Elias, Diane Formy-Duval and Linda Davis.
