[Michlib-l] Volunteer Screening

[Amy Abele]

We have been receiving an abundance of applications from folks who want to
volunteer at the library, which is great!  But because we only have so many
things volunteers can help with, we are finding we need to be more
selective.  Not to mention, having a more formal screening process would
probably be beneficial. Can you give me insight into your library process
for taking on volunteers?


   - What kind of application/screening process do you use to choose your
   volunteers?
   - Do you have them complete a shelving test?
   - Do you require an in-person interview?
   - Is your process the same for both adults and teenagers?
   - What jobs do you give the teens to do?
   - Are most of your volunteers on a regular schedule or do you call them
   as needed?


Your feedback is appreciated!
