The question is referring specifically to Friends, where there are members who only work the book sale for a couple of hours four times per year. </div><div><br></div><div>It seems that the conditions would regard time in the building, whether they are supervised by staff or work alongside staff at all times, whether they work with children. </div><div><br></div><div>Do you make distinctions based on conditions, or do background checks on any and all volunteers? Are your board members subject to these checks?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for any assistance!</div><div><br></div><div>melissa</div><div><br></div><div>-- <br></div><div><span name="x"></span><div>Melissa A.
