Peggy Fechtel, left, and Felicia Poettgen share a laugh while sorting and organizing books Tuesday at Missouri River Region Library, where both are active volunteers. Fechtel was named volunteer of the year while Poettgen was named ambassador of the year for their efforts to promote and support the library.
Peggy Fechtel loves to read.
She used to volunteer at her children's school in Westphalia, she said, eventually getting a job there. After leaving the job, the first thing she did was decide to volunteer at Missouri River Regional Library.
