On February 25 SEMLS will offer a workshop on using volunteers in your library at teh Brewster ladies Library from 10 to 12. Many libraries are exploring new and creative ways to extend their services with volunteers in the library. Volunteers can improve your library in many ways. They willingly do repetitive work freeing your staff to address more complicated tasks, and because they are key stakeholders in your library, they serve as good-will ambassadors in the community. The time spent recruiting, training, involving and retaining volunteers can be a great benefit to the library. We’ll talk about best practices and some of the many ways volunteers are currently being used in member libraries. Instructed by Cheryl Bryan, SEMLS Assistant Administrator for Consulting and Continuing
