Volunteer Program Goals:

  • Volunteers will help make the library a safe and enjoyable place for its patrons
  • Volunteers will be available to help on a weekly basis for an agreed upon period of time
  • Volunteers will reinforce the efforts of the library staff in making sure patrons get high-quality service

 

Guidelines for Volunteers:

  • Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age (volunteers under the age of 16 are accepted at the discretion of the volunteer coordinator)
  • All volunteer applicants must be interviewed and will be treated as though they were a paid library employee
  • Court-appointed service hour volunteers will be accepted at the discretion of the library director

 

Management of Volunteer Program:

The library director is ultimately responsible for all volunteer efforts of the library. The director will select a staff member as the volunteer coordinator.

 

The volunteer coordinator’s responsibilities include:

  • Scheduling and conducting interviews with volunteer applicants
  • Finding meaningful and constructive tasks for volunteers
  • Refusing applicants or terminating any volunteers’ services where they see fit
