Please...

  • Arrive on time for in-person volunteer shifts and be ready to focus on your assignment/project
  • Submit assignments by the due date (if applicable/volunteering virtually)

  • Wear a Volunteen badge (provided when you volunteer) to identify yourself to library staff and patrons
  • Be courteous and respectful to others
  • Do not socialize with friends, family, acquaintances while you are volunteering
  • Keep your conversations at a low volume so as not to disturb others in the library
  • Set your phone/mobile device to low volume/vibrate/silent while you are volunteering

  • Notify the volunteer supervisor as soon as possible if you can't make it in to volunteer
  • Set a positive example for other library patrons with your behavior

    • I understand...

  • I am not entering into an employment relationship with the Huntley Area Public Library District and that I am not entitled to receive a salary or any employee benefits, including workers' compensation.

I also understand that I must respect the confidentiality of any information identifying individuals borrowing particular books or materials (circulation record information). I understand that my obligation of confidentiality continues into perpetuity.
  • The Library does not provide liability insurance for volunteers, does not provide insurance coverage for personal vehicles, and does not indemnify volunteers for liability they may incur by the performance of their gratuitous seervices for any library patron or the Library.
