Perks, Rewards, and Glory: The Care and Feeding of Volunteers
Fullner, Sheryl Kindle
Library Media Connection, v22 n4 p38-39 Jan 2004
Not all volunteers respond the same way to the same stimuli. The purpose of this article is to suggest several ways to nurture volunteers in a library media center setting. Some might respond best to a printed word of appreciation or recognition in a district newsletter, while others would value a book or pin as a gift. Perks, like allowing volunteers to be the first to check out new books, take magazines home for a night, or receive gifts of duplicate or unsolicited materials, are also ways of showing appreciation for their hard work and dedication. Cultivating a mindset that is alert to ways of inventively and quickly sending messages of appreciation and value to media center volunteers is a small price to pay to recognize all of the free hours of work these volunteers provide.
