Volunteer Handbook

Get To Know Our Volunteer Handbook

If you’ve got a question, chances are the answer is in our Volunteer Handbook. The table of contents links to corresponding text, helping you find the info you need quickly. Plus, ALA grants its chapter leaders permission to copy or reproduce the contents of the handbook for use within the chapter. 

Here you’ll also find information about the insurance options available to chapters. ALA provides chapters with general liability insurance and professional liability insurance at no cost. Fidelity Bond Insurance (Crime) is also available for purchase for chapters in good standing. See page 26 of the Volunteer Handbook for all the details.
