Aspen Hill Library Featured in “Voice of America” Report on Volunteering for Persian News Network

To help tell the story of the value of volunteering in the United States, the Voice of America (VOA) chose the Aspen Hill Library.

VOA reporter Rozita Azizi Namini’s four-and-a-half minute piece in Farsi, was featured in Persian News Network's social show, “Street of Life.” The segment included an interview with Fran Kaplan, head of Children’s Services at Aspen Hill, who spoke about the important role volunteers play at the library. Some of the young volunteers talked about how their experiences at the library are improving their lives.
