Volunteer Policy

Volunteer Policy:

The Gustavus Public Library views volunteers as a valuable resource and as important partners in serving the public, and we encourage community members to get involved. Volunteers are needed to help cover the front desk during open hours, help with special events and programming, and assist with specific library needs.

Community members interested in volunteering should fill out a Volunteer Application form, which will be reviewed by the Library Administrators, 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, the Library retains sole discretion for selecting the assignment based on the needs of the organization.

All volunteers will be oriented and expected to comply with all library policies and procedures.
Volunteers will be asked to sign and comply with a Volunteer Code of Conduct.

Volunteers are under the supervision of the Library Administrators.

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.
