A third-grade student at Lake Noxen Elementary School, Seth has been collecting bottles for four years. He began when he found his first bottle in the woods. “It was like finding a treasure!” he responded. While still digging on “trea- sure hunts” to find more old bottles, Seth also goes to yard sales with his mom where he likes to look for unique finds. Seth has 50 bottles in his collection and keeps some of them in the family hutch in the dining room. His favorites are an old Coke bottle and a fish- shaped bottle. Seth lives with his mom, Beth Karnes, and his two broth- ers, Calvin and Colby.

This job is sedentary and re- quires no bending or lifting. It is enjoyable, non-stressful work as volunteers chat with each other during the book-washing pro- cess. Please call the children’s librarian, Janet Bauman, if you would like a nice, low-impact volunteer position.
