Abstract
Adapt and enhance your existing volunteer programs to respond to the needs of specialized populations such as seniors or intellectually or developmentally disabled (IDD) individuals. Plano Public Library will discuss its volunteer program for neurodiverse and IDD individuals as an example and include discussion of understanding volunteers needs, the development of staff training, and assessing program outcomes to improve existing library services.
