Wiggin Memorial Library welcomes the skills and talents of volunteers to support and extend the services of the Library. Volunteers do not replace paid staff, but do assist with special projects and supplement existing services. The number and type of volunteers accepted will be based on the amount of work and supervisory time available. The Wiggin Memorial Library will abide by all Federal law, New Hampshire (NH) state law, and NH Department of Labor (DOL) guidelines concerning volunteers at not for profit agencies
including:
All volunteers must fill out the “Library Volunteer Service Agreement” which will be kept on file at the Library. Minor volunteers must have their parent’s signature on the Library Volunteer Service Agreement. These agreements must be renewed annually on June 1 before volunteer service can continue.
All volunteers must be 14 years of age or older
Volunteers aged 14 or 15 must also provide proof of age to the library. Volunteer service cannot begin until a photocopy of proof of age is on file at the library
Volunteers aged 16 or 17 must also complete and submit the NH DOL’s “Parental Permission” form and provide proof of age to the library. Volunteer service cannot begin until the parental permission form and a photocopy of proof of age are on file at the library
All minor volunteers must maintain a “Volunteer Hours Time Sheet” to record all time spent volunteering. This form will be kept on file at the library
Volunteers doing work on behalf of an organization are under the supervision and responsibility of that organization and will be required to provide a completed “Volunteer Service Agreement for Public, Charitable, or Religious Facilities”
Volunteers are expected to have a good knowledge of the mission of the Wiggin Memorial Library and to operate within the stated policies and procedures of the Library.
