Volunteer Policy
DECLARATION I hereby certify that all information on all application materials submitted by me to King County Library System is true, correct and complete.
I understand that falsifying or omitting facts or important information in any of my application materials may lead KCLS to end any volunteer assignments immediately or for KCLS to reject my services as a volunteer.
In expressing interest in a volunteer assignment, I give permission for, and understand that with proper notification to me, King County Library System may conduct one or more criminal history background checks on me, to be done through the Washington State Patrol or an equivalent inquiry to a federal law enforcement agency. This background check is in compliance with the Child/Adult Abuse Information Act (RCW 43.43.830 through 43.43.840).
I understand that KCLS will provide reasonable accommodation to qualified volunteers so that the volunteer is able to perform required duties when possible. In some cases, the need for an accommodation may lead to a different volunteer assignment. In the event that I need an accommodation, I understand that I should discuss my need with library staff where I am assigned.
Confidentiality statement: I understand that, should I be assigned as a volunteer, in the course of my volunteer assignment, I may have access to personal information about library users, including their request for information and records of materials they may have borrowed. I hereby agree to hold such information in complete confidence and to access it only as necessary to fulfill my volunteer assignment.
By entering volunteer hours through their KCLS MyVolunteerPage account or by starting and stopping the Timeclock, volunteers certify that they are recording hours actually volunteered. I will not enter future hours not yet volunteered.
