Could you be a Summer Reading Challenge volunteer at your local library during the summer holidays?
Each year West Sussex Libraries recruit adults and young people aged 14+ to help us deliver the Summer Reading Challenge to families between July to September.
Our volunteers:
- help families sign up to the challenge online
- listen to children talk about books they have read
- hand out rewards and encourage children to keep reading
This is a fun and rewarding volunteering opportunity. Young people will gain practical work experience that they can add to their CV, increase their confidence in talking to customers, both adults and children and connect and make new friends with other volunteers.
All volunteers will be invited to an information evening where they will learn more about the challenge and what is being asked of them. They will also get to see the rewards that they will be handing out to children.
If you want to learn more about the role and what it involves, listen to volunteer Kiefer talk about the opportunities he has accessed since helping out at his local library:
