27 Dec '18

Hello all, I'm in charge of creating an adult volunteer/ambassador program (other than the Friends) for our library and was wondering if any of you could share how your program is structured. 1. How many do you have & what's your limit? 2. How many hours do they normally work in a week? 3. Do you provide perks? What kind? 4. What are your requirements? 5. What tasks can/do they help with within the library? 6. Have you experienced a high turnover of volunteers? 7. Have you increased your programming on account of having volunteers? Thank you! 😊 Jessica Pasek Marketing and Adult Outreach Specialist Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W. John Beers Road Stevensville, MI 49127 (269) 429-9575 jpasek(a)lincolnlib.org
