​
The Hamilton Public Library’s volunteers are an important extension of the Library’s staff.
Volunteers perform a wide variety of tasks that are important to the institution. 
The following policy is designed to promote a maximum degree of excellence.

All volunteers must be accepted and have references cleared by the Library prior to performance of assigned task(s).

within appropriate programs and activities. Volunteers shall be extended the right to be given
meaningful assignments, the right to be treated as an equal, the right to effective supervision,
the right to full involvement and participation and the right to recognition of good work.

Nothing in this policy shall be deemed to be a contract between the volunteer and the Hamilton

           patron, every attempt will be made to handle the situation through the Librarian or the
           Board of Trustees.
  1. The Hamilton Public Library reserves the right to terminate the services of the volunteer.

  3. Volunteers may be used to establish and maintain new library services.
