If a volunteer needs to have a school-issued form completed to verify volunteer hours earned, he/she must contact Pat Larson, Human Resources Assistant Volunteers, at: plarson@naperville-lib.org
*Verification of SRP volunteer hours is not sent to the volunteer’s school without an official email request from the volunteer at the end of the program.
