Description:

In order to manage a volunteer program successfully, supervisors must have a mind set that truly values the work of volunteers. A good management mind set will perceive volunteers as motivated and professional. The volunteers will be perceived as enhancements rather than threats to library jobs and as boosts to staff morale.

This course is designed to provide library staff the tools to create and effectively manage a successful volunteer program.
