Are you ready to be part of something rewarding? Each summer, we invite young volunteers to join us for the Summer Reading Challenge. You will help children sign up to the 2025 Summer Reading Challenge: Story Garden. Talk to them about the books they are reading, and hand out sticker booklets, stickers, and medals. Plus, you'll get to demonstrate your creativity by helping to plan exciting activities for children and get involved with various behind-the-scenes tasks. There is no set number of hours. But if you volunteer for 10 hours or more, you can earn the prestigious Dorset Award or Dorset Award Plus. Our friendly library staff will chat with you about this during your induction. Applications are open from 12 May to 20 June. There are a limited number of places, so do apply early to ensure you are ready to volunteer during the summer holidays. Don't miss out.
