Khan Academy is a free, fun, educational and totally awesome organization. The goal of Khan Academy is to change "education for the better by providing a free world-class education to anyone anywhere." The site contains over 2,700 videos on math, physics, biology, chemistry, finance and art. Students, parents, coaches, and teachers can use Khan Academy in many ways. Teachers and homeschool parents can use this resource to coordinate classwork and monitor student work. Kids looking for homework help can find explanations and practice examples on the virtual scratch pad. Adults looking for continuing education opportunities will find help here as well.

Our next Volunteer Orientation is set for Wednesday, June 9th. While all applications are welcome, we are in special need of volunteers who are willing and immediately available to fill the following positions:

• Water plants, bi-monthly — Green thumbs preferred, although not required
• Maintain supply of romance novels in spinners — Some bodice-ripper experience would be helpful
• Help clean grounds around building — Good exercise for the young and sedentary
• Identify damaged materials — Warning: Exposure to our collections may result in checkout overdose, as you see hundreds of books you never knew we had, but must read now!
• Scan & archive media clips — Your chance to be a part of library history

Anyone available for these positions should contact: Kathie Gladden via phone (734) 397-0999 ext 1071 or email: gladdenk@cantonpl.org.

Otherwise, please fill out our Volunteer Application form and return it to the Reception Desk. We will contact you about orientation as soon as your application is processed.
