POLICY STATEMENT:
The Rock Island Public Library encourages volunteerism in its libraries and at outreach programs to complement, not replace, work done by paid staff. Volunteerism at Rock Island Public Library will serve as a method for encouraging citizens to become familiar with their library and the services being offered. Members of the “Library PALS,” a committee of the Rock Island Public Library Foundation, are also considered volunteers, and are subject to the procedures, regulations, and guidelines that follow.
