Oregon Library Association Staff Support Conference

I'm going to be presenting at the Oregon Library Association Staff Support Conference in July. My topic will be about developing volunteer programs for libraries. I've organized a variety of volunteer programs--church, community, school (both individual schools and district-wide) during the past twenty years or so and I'm working on developing a volunteer program for LBCC so I feel pretty confident about being able to handle a one hour presentation by myself.

I'm preparing by reading books and websites about how to set up such programs and I also plan on interviewing the volunteer coordinator at the Corvallis Public Library .
