Fondulac District Library welcomes volunteers in the library workplace.  The sense of ownership that volunteers have as a part of the library organization promotes advocacy for the library within the community.  Using volunteers extends the resources of the library.  Not only do volunteers perform tasks that might otherwise not get done, they provide valuable input to library staff about the community.

For all activities related to recruitment and retention of volunteers, Fondulac District Library does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or sexual orientation, national origin, marital status, or political beliefs. The minimum age to be a library volunteer is 14 years old.

Volunteer opportunities for community service requirements are limited to students enrolled in educational programs. The library does not offer volunteer opportunities for community service individuals from the court system. 

Methods of recruitment may include, but are not limited to, the library newsletter, brochures, letters of request, etc.

Individuals wishing to volunteer at Fondulac District Library must complete a volunteer application and agree to the Applicant Statement contained thereon. The volunteer application is available on the library’s website and at the library. Information contained in the application may be disclosed to any party with legal and proper interest, and volunteers release Fondulac District Library from any liability for supplying such information.

Fondulac District Library reserves the right to screen volunteers (including, but not limited to, use of reference and background checks), to accept or reject any applications, and to place applicants in specific locations and positions based on the needs of the library. Fondulac District Library staff will contact applicants by phone and/or email when their volunteer services are requested by the library.
