Volunteer Services Policy
 Volunteers are essential to maintain library services and relieve staff to allow them to use their time for professional librarian tasks.  With on-going training, volunteers help expand and enhance library services and provide an educational and cultural link to the community.

Volunteer Application
  1. Volunteers should be informed of Library policies and procedures in their initial training period and throughout their tenure of service and are expected to conform to these policies and procedures. 

  2. All transactions between library users and staff or volunteers are strictly confidential and volunteers are required to uphold the patron’s right to privacy.  This includes any information about what materials a patron looked at, asked for, requested, or checked out, as well as reference questions asked by library users. 

  3. Volunteer assignments should be for specific time periods to enable the staff to plan their work and to allocate time for the training and supervision of the volunteers. 

  4. The library encourages the participation of youth in their community and in their library.  Young people may apply to volunteer for the library if they have written parental permission.  Young volunteers are expected to abide by all volunteer program policies and procedures. 

  5. Recognition and appreciation of all voluntary assistance is imperative.
