We appreciate that on occasion other opportunities and obligations could necessitate your being

any reason, please contact the library coordinator, Carolyn Miller, 978-887-0151
carolyn_miller@comcast.net.
Many classes will have more than one volunteer, in which case these volunteers may prefer to obtain
each others contact information and make alternate arrangements among themselves. We ask that
any permanent changes to the volunteer schedule be communicated to Carolyn so that our Master
Schedule remains up-to-date.
You should plan to arrive 5-10 minutes prior to your scheduled time and stay 5 to 10 minutes after
your scheduled time in order facilitate effective communication with us and with the incoming
volunteer.
Recognize that being a volunteer means being committed and willing to help each child in the class
equally. If your child becomes especially distracted by your presence in a way that negatively affects
the learning experience of other children, we will need to discuss the issue and decide on an
appropriate solution.
It is our goal to have our library volunteers feel well instructed and guided in their tasks, and
matched with assignments that appeal to them. We welcome any additional special contributions
that you may like to suggest and to make. We want to avoid burn out and for you to feel that
volunteering in the library is a rewarding, worthwhile and enjoyable experience.
We are glad you are here!
