Could you spare a few hours a month to support your local library? 📚

Bedale Community Library is looking for new volunteers to join our lovely team! 💙

Whether you’re a lifelong bookworm or simply enjoy being part of your local community, volunteering is a great way to meet people, learn new skills and help keep our library thriving.

There are lots of different ways you can get involved, and you don’t need to be a library expert, just a little time, enthusiasm and a willingness to help.

You can do as many shifts as you’d like and no shift is ever more than 3 hours.
A few hours from you can make a big difference to our community.

Interested in finding out more? Pop in and speak to a member of the library team or give us a call, we’d love to hear from you! 💙
