Bi-lingual volunteers wanted! 🔊

We're looking for friendly and enthusiastic volunteers to help review translated library information.

We're looking for speakers of any of the following languages:
❄️ Romanian
🌵 Lithuanian
🍒 Punjabi (Gurmukhi)
🍨 Arabic
🌻Latvian
🪐Russian
🐠Urdu

By volunteering for this role, you'll help make our library services more accessible and welcoming for people who speak different languages in our communities, and help ensure that important info is easy to understand and culturally appropriate.

This role can be carried out from home or wherever is best for you.
