Live Oak Public Libraries
Serving Chatham, Effingham and Liberty Counties

Live Oak Public Libraries is taking part in United We Serve, a national effort launched by President Obama to engage more Americans in serving their communities this summer.

On Monday, June 22, 18 high level administration officials, including the First Lady, will join volunteers in service as part of United We Serve’s nationwide kickoff. Live Oak Public Libraries branches in Chatham, Effingham and Liberty will participate in the kickoff by recruiting volunteers to help with this year’s Summer Reading program and the Savannah Children’s Book Festival.

“In these tough economic times, we need volunteers more than ever,” said Christian Kruse, library director. “Live Oak Public Libraries is facing increasing demands for services, and volunteers can help us fill this growing need. We are pleased to participate in United We Serve and thank the President for making this call to service this summer and beyond.”

United We Serve kicks off June 22 and runs through September 11, which will be marked for the first time as a national day of service and remembrance. The initiative focuses on four key areas: education, health, energy and the environment; and community renewal. It is being led by the Corporation for National and Community Service, a federal agency that improves lives and strengthens communities though volunteering and service.
