I told the library I was a student at Central Penn College. At first they were okay with it. Then when they moved me to the Marshall st. store, I literally did my two hours of volunteer work on a Saturday. All of a sudden come Monday Morning I received an email from the Supervisor stating I could not volunteer there anymore because I am a student and they want someone to volunteer long term. I find this to be very hypocritical when they have people there that volunteer only once or twice a month, when I was willing to volunteer every weekend. Mind you my volunteer hours for are 50 hours in order to graduate with my Bachelors. I even offered to do 2 hours every Saturday, to me that sounds like long term and dedication. Do not volunteer for the Library if you are a student, I guess they do not want to see people succeed in there careers.
