Before the Eastern Lancaster County Library opens its doors, a group of people from Lighthouse Small Group Employment work together to clean the space. They vacuum, mop, dust library shelves, take out trash and clean the restrooms while their job coach Christina answers questions.
It’s not just a job, but a contribution. Upon arriving, each person eagerly starts on their own tasks, taking ownership of their work. Together, they helped prepare the library to welcome the community.
The job coach Christina answers questions, offers guidance, and even teaches new skills, such as how to properly knot garbage bags. When the work is finished, the group smiles with pride, knowing they had played a part in preparing the library for its opening.
We’re so grateful for our partnership with the Elanco Library. Thank you for giving people a chance to grow, learn, and contribute to their community!
