Volunteers in the library
By karen | October 5, 2011
Volunteers can play an important role in your library. This month, WebJunction focuses on volunteers in the library:
Volunteers in the library are more than just unpaid helpers who fill in gaps and extend the ability to deliver services. They are the living connectors that help build the commitment of the community to the library through their dedicated efforts. However, as every volunteer manager knows, getting the most of your library volunteers is a complex and energetic endeavor. While many best practices never go out of date, there are some new angles to recruiting and utilizing volunteers. WebJunction offers two webinars this month on attracting skilled volunteers, as well as a compilation of current resources for recruiting, managing and training volunteers.
Check out the resources on WebJunction – you don’t have to be a member to take advantage of all the resources available there, though you do need to be a member to attend webinars. If you were a member of WebJunction Rhode Island, you’re still a member of WebJunction.
