Home Library Service Volunteer
3 months ago
We are looking for volunteers who are interested in meeting people and making connections and love reading, to help pick out and deliver books and information to people using our home library service.
Delivery Volunteers need to be available to make a regular weekday commitment of about two hours, once a fortnight, on an agreed day.
We are looking for caring people who don't mind spending some time chatting to customers, many of whom are elderly or have a disability.
You will be paired with another volunteer to visit the same people each time. Volunteers usually visit between five and nine addresses, including residential or nursing homes. Volunteers use their own cars and are paid out-of-pocket expenses. Many of the visits are in and around each town, but you may also travel to villages or hamlets.
We are often looking for volunteers to help organise the delivery rotas, or for relief volunteers to fill in when other volunteers can't attend.
Duties:
- visit people in their own home or in residential homes to deliver preselected materials, and collect materials that are finished with
- give a regular commitment on a set day once a fortnight
- deliver the books with a volunteer partner. One of the pair of volunteers will use their own car (fuel expenses will be reimbursed at 40p per mile)
- spend time talking to customers, particularly about the choice of books
- keep simple records on the paperwork provided about customers visited, requests for books and messages for library staff and take them back to the library at the end of the delivery
- be aware that customers' health and home circumstances can change and offer extra information to customers as appropriate if it is felt they may need support to live independently
- take part in meetings and training sessions relating to the role
- undertake any other tasks relevant to the role
This role will require some lifting of bags of books and may include using stairs and lifts.
Skills and experience:
We do not require volunteers to have special skills or experience, but the role would suit someone who has the following qualities:
- good communication and interpersonal skills
- a willingness and ability to cope with a small amount of paperwork
- an interest in reading or listening to books
- supportive of the library in its commitment to making the service accessible and welcoming
For community libraries please check with your local library for guidance on how to become a volunteer. To find out your nearest library please use this link
