Library Volunteers Welcome! Strategies for Attracting, Retaining and Making the Most of Willing Helpers brings together 30 chapters from librarians and academics across the United States who've served as: board members for library organizations; heads of special collections; state library consultants; directors of state library associations; outreach coordinators; archivists; researchers; presenters at conferences; and other positions. Many are previous contributors to anthologies, professional journals, and have published their own books, several have won awards for their innovative programs and service, have degrees and work experience beyond librarianship, and volunteers within their communities. Volunteers are a crucial component of a library and finding the right people, keeping them, motivating them and pairing them with the right projects is challenging; this anthology is for librarians seeking to better their libraries.
