In fiscal year 2005 - 2006, San Diego County Library gained a net value of $1.24 million dollars by training and including in daily operations 1,762 volunteers (a 26% increase) who donated 70,100 hours of their time, an average of 40 hours per volunteer.
Volunteers perform a variety of duties, including, but not limited to: presenting and assisting with branch events, tutoring adult literacy learners, reading to children in the "Grandparents and Books" programs, helping students with homework, leading book discussion groups, and serving as Internet docents.
The County of San Diego Board of Supervisors recognize the important contribution volunteers make to all County departments in an annual event each year. County departments each nominate their own "Volunteer of the Year." A PowerPoint Presentation of the County of San Diego Board of Supervisors' Volunteer of the Year presentation can be accessed on the County Clerk of the Board's web site.
Library branches hold volunteer recognition events each year during National Volunteer Recognition Month in April.
