In particular, specialist children's librarians should be available when libraries are likely to be visited by children, including schools. Library users need staff who can suggest books for readers seeking advice, and help children and students to find the books they need for their studies. Very unlikely that many volunteers will be able to fulfil these roles, though I accept there are plenty of useful tasks which they could do.Carolenoreply@blogger.com
