Volunteer Policy

Volunteers/Example #1

The Newman Regional Library District recognizes and appreciates the hard work and unique talents the volunteers of the community offer to the Newman Regional Library District throughout the year. The Newman Regional Library District also recognizes the risk of injury which can be a part of every activity. For that reason, the board of trustees of the Newman Regional Library District carries the necessary insurance coverage to provide insurance to volunteers who are injured while performing a task assigned by the library director or board of trustees as part of a formal program of volunteerism. This coverage is provided to the same level as accidental injury coverage is provided to employees of the library.

Volunteers/Example #2

The Newman Regional Library District recognizes and appreciates the hard work and unique talents the volunteers of the community offer to the Newman Regional Library District throughout the year. All work performed by volunteers is done without compensation and at the risk of the volunteer. The library does not carry insurance which protects the volunteer in the case of accidental injury.
