DESTIN — High school sophomore Lauren Long has reached a milestone at the Destin Library.
Long — who has volunteered since May, 2015 at the library — reached 100 hours of service on Nov. 12.
"Lauren's accomplishment is a landmark and has been achieved by only 1 percent of the 200-plus students who have provided community service to the library since 2003," said Will Rogers, Destin's Reference and Youth Services librarian.
Long has provided a variety of support to library staffers and programs offered to the public, including:
●the 2015 summertime children's reading program
●the fall 2015 computer workshop brochure production
●responsibility for selected library collections maintenance
●shelving, decorating for the annual children's Halloween Parade
●one-on-one assistance to patrons of all ages
"Lauren's dedication to exemplary service at our community library is a model for other young adults to strive toward," Rogers said.
Long — the daughter of Charles and Michelle Long of Crestview — was presented with a certificate of appreciation and letter of acknowledgement for her service Nov. 12.
Young adults interested in earning community service credit for Bright Futures Scholarships or other service programs can contact the Destin Library at 837-8572.
