Description

My Service Learning Project (SLP) was working in the school library and helping out with students, staff, and the librarians. I do many things in there such as: checking books out, making sure all laptops are plugged in and charging, set up the AR window, and several more. This is a good volunteer job for many people. I choose this because it made me feel good inside and I am always willing to help others out. It is perfect volunteer work if you do not have transportation. I planned this by talking with the librarians to make sure it was okay for me to work in there and also talked with my SLP instructor.

I always want to work at my best and never slack off my work. I am always asking the librarians if they need me to do anything or if they need help with anything. I won’t get signed off if I just go in there and goof off or just sit around and do nothing. I constantly have to be working to be able to get signed off on my logbook. This year I had to do 30 hours of community service and the volunteer may think that 30 hours will take a long time for just being able to work in there for so many minutes or hours but it really does not take that long. The volunteer is required to contact the librarians before writing a proposal so that the volunteer knows for sure that they are able to volunteer in there for their SLP. There may even be times the volunteer helps other students out on the computers or even helping them find a book. This is a very good experience to be able to volunteer with the school. Both librarians here at the Greene County Career Center are very friendly and will help the volunteer with anything they need. They will also do their best to work with the volunteer as much as they can. This gives the volunteer a really good opportunity to get to know a lot of people in their school and be able to learn how to do a lot of different things. If you are interested in volunteering in the library for a SLP than please feel free to contact the SLP instructor and the librarians and they will do as much as they can to help the volunteer get started in the library to start their hours. It is a very fun and friendly place to volunteer at and learn many different things. I hope the volunteer enjoys their SLP and have a great time with the librarians.
