Dormanstown Volunteer Library Assistant
This role involves being a keyholder, handling small amounts of cash and dealing with library book stock. This will include organising shelving, issuing books when required, undertaking minor stock repair and preparing some new and discarded stock items.
The ability to communicate confidently with a wide range of people is required, as, when on the library floor, customers will ask you for help or information regarding book stock and may also require assistance with the self-service machines.
There will be opportunities to plan, prepare and deliver activities in the library by establishing a regular event that you run yourself, or with others, and could include events aimed at child, family and adult audiences.
You will work alongside other volunteers in this role and, as a volunteer role, you will be ideally placed to promote volunteering opportunities within the library service.
