I got this in an email from Tom the other day. He's trying to become a volunteer at the local library and had an entertaining commentary on the process...
"My library volunteering thing is slowly moving forward. Friday I had
my drug screen. Yes, they drug-screen library volunteers. Because it's
*so* hard to fire us once we're in, you know. And also of course, the
risk that we may show up stoned, get the munchies, and eat a book."
Incidentally, we don't drug-screen in our system. We do interview to make sure people aren't irresponsible or sociopathic, and are willing to do the weird array of volunteer tasks. (Cut out dozens of bunny ears for storytime? Pull all the Harlequin romances more than 6 months old? Sure! Love to!) People who do this are incredible. And the wonderfully feisty lady who logs in all our magazines each week even brings us in homemade cookies (chocolate chip this week)!
