Collingham Library Community Partnership Library Volunteer

Our Community Partnership Libraries (CPLs) are run on a day to day basis by volunteers with support from a local Library Manager. We are looking for enthusiastic, friendly and welcoming volunteers to join our CPL teams and help make a difference in their local community.

What skills do I need?

As a CPL volunteer, every day is different! Your key tasks include:

• Meeting and greeting library customers
• Helping customers find the resources they want
• Using our computer system to check out and return books
• Contacting Ask Inspire with customer enquiries
• Re-shelving books and keeping the library safe and tidy
• Undertaking selected library routines like sending on rota stock
• Assisting with library events
• Helping to create library displays
• Promoting the library service in the community
• Opening and closing the library

At some of our CPLs, you might also help customers log on to computers, and handle small amounts of money for customers printing documents.

A CPL volunteer may also be a keyholder for the building, and help to create the volunteer rota.

All volunteers will be given training and go through an induction process.
