Volunteer Policy
by Tracy Logan 29 Mar '23

29 Mar '23

Hi Guys, We have not utilized volunteers in the past because I've always been afraid of undermining staff duties but the issue has come up a lot lately. I'm in information- gather mode. Do you have any wisdom to share on these issues: 1. Do you have a volunteer policy of some kind? Would you be willing to send a copy over? 2. What do you ask them to do? 3. How do you vet volunteers? 4. Who supervises them? I realize this is a lot of info. Thank you you for your time and wisdom! -Tracy -- Tracy Logan Library Director Cadillac Wexford Public Library 411 S. Lake Street Cadillac, MI 49601 231-775-6541 logant(a)cadillaclibrary.org
