Volunteer Policy

Volunteer Policy:

• Community members interested in volunteering should fill out a Volunteer Application form, which will be reviewed by the Library Directors, who have final discretion over volunteer positions.
• Every effort will be made by the Library to provide the type of assignment requested by the volunteer and that best matches their skills. However, Library Directors will prioritize volunteer tasks based on the current needs of the library.
• All volunteers will be oriented and expected to comply with all library policies and procedures.
• Volunteers will be required to sign and comply with a Volunteer Agreement.
• Volunteers are under the supervision of the Library Directors.
• In the event a volunteer violates Gustavus Public Library Policies or the Gustavus Public Library Volunteer Agreement an effort will be made to resolve the issue among library staff and volunteers. If resolution is not achieved, then the Library reserves the right to discontinue a volunteer's service.
• Necessary training and information shall be provided to all volunteers to ensure they are equipped to perform their volunteer duties.
