June is originally from Minnesota and moved to Centennial in 2007 from Florida, after she retired from the medical equipment industry. She has been managing the Centennial Library Book Sale for the CLCA since 2010 and has been on the CLCA Board off and on since then. June spends several hours every week meticulously culling, sorting and managing the donated books we receive. The Book Sale is one of the CLCA’s most important ongoing fund raisers and June is the tireless engine behind it. Thank you June!
Ken and Polly Costello have served as a vital part of the CLCA volunteer work force since they moved to the valley full time in 2009. They are regular weekly volunteers at the front desk and work diligently behind the scenes on Library building maintenance and general upkeep, inside and outside, including decorating for Christmas in Centennial. Prior to retirement, Polly was a speech pathologist, and Ken had a career as an Air Force pilot, then a second career in the world of finance. Since moving to the valley, they have been active in a variety of community service roles including Snowy Range Men’s Service Club, Centennial Social Club, the Centennial Valley Historical Association, the North Fork Owner’s Association and the Centennial Valley Volunteer Fire Department. They are currently co-chairs of Christmas in Centennial. Thank you Ken and Polly! Volunteers and donations keep the doors open and the lights on in the Centennial Library.

Thursday Volunteer needed! The Library relies on Volunteers on Tuesday through Friday to be open. Individuals or couples typically pick a weekday to regularly sit behind the desk and conduct Library business. We are currently seeking someone to fill the Thursday spot. Contact the Volunteer coordinator, Jeff at centvols2023@gmail.com for more information. People can volunteer to substitute as well!

Sale proceeds go to support the CLCA’s physical operation of the library branch and its programs.
