Library summer volunteering opportunity for students
A local library is a great place for young people to start volunteering!
It is a creative, relaxed and safe space which offers valuable training opportunities and work experience. Oxfordshire Libraries are offering volunteering opportunities for young people aged 13+ to help make this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, “Marvellous Makers” a success.
The Challenge is a national scheme produced by The Reading Agency which encourages children to read during the summer holidays. Volunteers will have opportunities to:
- Sign children up to the Challenge and administer rewards
- Listen to children talk about their books and engage in discussion
- Promote “Marvellous Makers” and the website to families and children in the library
- Help children to find and choose books
- Create book displays
- Help plan and carry out themed activities, such as craft sessions or story times
Full training will be given.
Young people who would like to get involved should contact their local library, or visit this page. View the flyer here. (PDF, 4.32mb)
