Volunteer of the Year 2025

Diane Pagano headshot

Rolling Meadows Library has been a grateful recipient of Diane’s dedicated volunteer service since 2022. One of Diane‘s favorite things to do is to find books “a new home.” Six to seven days a week, she sorts and boxes book donations, and puts aside books to be reviewed for sale in the Friends’ Book Shop. Diane also helps set up and take down the Friends’ three annual book sales. She worked for ten years in Norridge School District 80, purchasing books for the learning center. Diane later worked for the Village of Norridge for 18 years. Before retiring and moving to Rolling Meadows in 2021, she volunteered for five years with the Friends of the Library in Norridge, sorting and boxing books. Diane says that as much as she helps the library, volunteering helps her. “Retiring and moving was a big change. I’m happy [volunteering] here,” she says.
