This was the day before the Fall Festival in Downtown Princeton, and our library&#8217;s first ever PALS Book Room book sale event. While we were recording, a faithful volunteer was sorting books in the book room. We enjoyed getting to know Ashley more and to also learn more about PES. We discussed how school has changed over the years, and programs going on at school, the needs of our local children and families, and how to become a volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some links to things mentioned in this interview&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-kubio-color-2-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.johnston.k12.nc.us\/o\/princeton\/article\/1159801\">Princeton Elementary School Reading Buddy Volunteers<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-kubio-color-2-background-color has-background wp-element-button\">Nicholas Sparks<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-kubio-color-2-background-color has-background wp-element-button\">If You Give a Mouse a Cookie<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-100\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-kubio-color-2-background-color has-background wp-element-button\">Capturing Kids Hearts Program<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-grid wp-container-core-group-is-layout-9d260ee2 wp-block-group-is-layout-grid\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We hope you will enjoy this interview, too!
