PAGE A2, KEIZERTIMES, NOVEMBER 2, 2018 KeizerCommunity Library adds student board member KEIZERTIMES.COM By DEREK WILEY Of the Keizertimes Angel Olmos-Lopez, a se- nior at McNary, has turned a love of reading into an oppor- tunity to volunteer. “When I was a kid, my mom always told me to put the book down and do chores instead of reading,” said Ol- mos-Lopez, who just hap- pened to drive past the Keizer Cultural Center when he was looking for somewhere to vol- unteer. “I had no idea there was a library.” Lopez worked at least four hours a week in Keizer’s Community Library over the summer, loading shelves and helping people that came in, before being asked to serve on the board in a new student position. “They took notice that I really wanted to help out so they offered me to come on to the board,” Olmos-Lopez said. “It’s been really fun, to see that I’m helping out the com- munity. It’s nice to see people’s faces light up when you help them.” Olmos-Lopez moved to Keizer from Southern Califor- nia when he was 5 years old. His dad, a baker since he was 12, and his mom, opened Fortaleza Bakery. By the time Olmos-Lopez, the oldest of fi ve kids, was 12, he was work- ing in the bakery as a cashier. “It taught me hard work and I just wanted to help out as much as I could,” Olmos-Lo- pez said. “It made me want to help other people, not just my family but my community af- ter that.” At McNary, Olmos-Lopez is on the National Honor So- ciety and co-president of the garden club. He hopes to attend Oregon State University and become a robotics engineer. “Ever since I was a kid, I al- ways wanted to make things or build,” Olmos-Lopez said. “There was this book that had this whole list of inven- tors and I found it fascinating. I really love the idea of creat- ing something that helps the world. I always wanted to do that.” KEIZERTIMES/Lyndon A.
