Supporting Library activities for children – Rawtenstall Library
Rawtenstall Library is seeking volunteers to help support their Baby Bounce and Rhyme activity.
Lancashire libraries care and cater for the needs of their local communities and are recognised as a safe space and often the main community hub. The library service is continual involved with new projects to ensure they provide what is needed locally for all ages. By running regular events and acting as the venue for many other local groups’ activities, they endeavour to help tackle the issues leading to social isolation. Their many regular activities and events include: Digital skills courses, Mental Health & Wellbeing groups, Reading groups, Children’s Activities, Craft Activities for all ages as well as providing information and knowledge for enquiries.
The need for volunteers to help assist the service, by helping under supervision to provide many of the activities and projects, is vital.
Activities may include supporting staff with activities such as Baby bounce and rhyme, Storytime, Reading Groups/Trailblazers, Drama events, Craft activities, Digital learning/creative sessions, Games Sessions and Homework sessions.
