Volunteer Spotlight January 2026
Every month, the Citrus County Library System features a volunteer in their “Outside the Stacks” blog on their website. This month, Lakes Region Library would like to shine the spotlight on Deb. We asked Deb several questions and thought it would be fun to share her responses!
