My job involves the supervision or management a number of volunteers.  This dedicated team enhance the resources in the library through historical newspaper indexing, indexing shipping lists, transcription and digitisation.  Yesterday I attended a meeting with the volunteer co-ordinator for Museums and Arts in the district which was a very positive experience.

With some joined-up working the library volunteers can become part of a larger network- with benefits such as free courses and social events.  I can also advertise any opportunities to volunteer in the library to a larger network.  The information I learnt at the meeting and the contact I have established will allow me to enrich the volunteer experience and hopefully lead to my own development as a supervisor as options to go on courses and training will be available. 

I have been reading the Volunteering England website which has opened up a range of literature , best practice and ideas.
