ASHLAND - Lissa Gerwig Lance loves books, and wants others to love them too, so naturally, her role as president of Friends of the Ashland Public Library is a perfect fit.
Lance has been a volunteer with the Friends since 2014 and president since 2015, and been helping the Library be the best it can be ever since.
The Friends of the Ashland Public Library “is a 501 (c)3 tax exempt group that supports the Ashland Public Library with voluntary service and monetary contributions … (and) are able to raise funds through membership fees and book sales,” according to information on the APL’s website.
Health departments and community organizations are combing efforts to make sure residents over 65 years old who want the COVID-19 vaccine get registered.
Ashland and Wayne counties have online registries that may prove difficult to navigate for individuals who do not have a computer or internet access in their homes. Holmes County’s registry is by phone only at this time.
The local health departments did not report any major issues in senior citizens having difficulties signing up. The Phase 1B registry list in Wayne County surpassed 15,000 people last week and more than 14,000 people had registered in Ashland County, although representatives for each health department reported some people registered more than once.
