Volunteers can be invaluable to a library and its staff when each role is clearly understood. Volunteers must be a minimum of 14 years of age. Applicants will be screened to ensure that they will contribute to the smooth operation of the library. Hours should be on a regularly scheduled frequency that is convenient for both parties. A minimum of two consecutive hours per session is desirable. When possible, a volunteer's preferences regarding the type of work performed will be considered. A supervisor will be assigned to each volunteer, and reviews of work and mutual satisfaction with assigned tasks will be conducted periodically. (Amended: 1/99)
