D01$"ER PUBLIC LIBRARY January 9, 2015 To: Scott Koenig, City Manager Fr: Margie Cyr, Library Director Re: Volunteer Programs at the Library 1.) SCSEP The Library has worked with the Modem Maturity Center' s SCSEP (Senior Community Service Employment Program) for six years. The Library hosts two SCSEP volunteers. These volunteers work for 18-20 hours per week. They are paid for their time by Modern Maturity through the SCSEP funding. The hours per week vary from year to year based on the funding that Modern Maturity has for that year. The Library is a host training site. Our role is to train and supervise the work of the volunteer so that he/she has a work history to enable future employment somewhere. We are very careful to ensure that the work being performed by these vo lunteers does not replace work that is done by regular staff. This is important as doing so violates union contracts. Currently one of our volunteers is assigned to the Circulation Department. She is responsible for packing and unpacking the interlibrary loan items Mondays-Thursdays. Typically the library sends out 25 bins and receives another 25 bins daily. The other volunteer is assigned to the Technical Services Department. She labels and stamps audiovisual materials in their last stop in the processing journey. She cleans DVDs and audio disks that have been dirtied, scratched or otherwise damaged. She searches the shelves for lost and missing items. This is a successful partnership. The Library interviews all potential SCSEP volunteers and makes the decision about which is a good fit for our organization. Almost all the SCSEP volunteers who have worked for us have been a positive addition; and almost all have found employment after their tenure here ended. 2.) The Heritage at Dover For the last four years we have hosted two volunteers from the Heritage Assisted Living on Thursday afternoons. These volunteers unpack the bags from the interlibrary loan delivery bins. This partnership is less successful as the physical abilities of these seniors is very limited. We continue this as it creates good wi ll.

3.) Alternative Schools We host student interns from the Positive Outcome Charter School. These are students who need extra support and exposure to positive public opportunities. They put away books for us primarily in the Teen Loft and assist with craft preparations for programs. We host developmentally impacted students. These students come with mentors. The students alphabetize DVDs; and put them away on the shelves. They shred documents and do other clerical tasks as needed. It brings little value to the Library and often require redoing of their work; but it creates a lot of good will with the students and their parents. Both these programs require a lot of staff supervision and time. 4.) General Volunteers We have a long-standing volunteer program that uses volunteers from the community to do a variety of tasks from searching the shelves for items on hold, missing and lost books; and keeping the shelves in the proper order. This is a detail-intensive job and takes a particular type of person to be successful. It requires time for training and staff supervision. 5.) Teen Volunteers Teen volunteers are very active in the Teen Loft. They shelve books, assist with craft preparations; and assist during programs. This requires a lot of staff supervision to be successful. 6.) Greeter Program This is a new program that we are planning. It will use volunteers to assist customers at the self- check-out computers; assist customers with the use of the card catalog computers; welcome people to the library and provide directions to the area they are seeking. We hope to have this program up and running by the middle of February. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
