Cover of Smallwood Carol Smallwood & Sanborn Lura Sanborn: Library Volunteers Welcome! (ePUB)

Volunteers are crucial to the daily operation of any library. Finding and retaining the right people, motivating them and matching their skills with projects is challenging. This collection of 30 new essays brings together the experiences of numerous individuals across the U.S., providing ideas, projects and best practices for volunteer recruiting and management. The contributors–among them library board members, heads of special collections, directors of state library associations, outreach coordinators, archivists and researchers–discuss a broad range of topics in five sections: recruitment and retention; policies and process; mentoring and empowering; placement, programs and responsibilities; and outreach.
