[Libs-Or] Volunteers - Policy or Procedure

[Mark Rose]

We've used volunteers without a board approved policy for some time. I know that some public libraries have a policy and others not. What aspect of volunteers requires it to be a policy? Is it because they may interact with the public? Is it to exclude them from specific tasks? I'd appreciate hearing why this should be a policy as opposed to a procedure.

Thank you for your consideration of this topic.
