Summer Reading Challenge Volunteers 2024

Each year Inspire Libraries challenge children to read six books over the summer holidays in the Summer Reading Challenge.

We need volunteers aged 14+ years to help run and promote the challenge alongside library staff.

• Shares their own enthusiasm for reading by listening and chatting with children about the books they read on their challenge
  
• Explains to children and their parents/carers how the challenge works
  
• Joins children to the challenge and encourages them to complete
  
• Hands out stickers and rewards as children progress
  
• Keeps our challenge records up to date by completing and filing registration cards.
  

• Gain experience of working with children
  
• Gain new skills and build confidence
  
• Meet new people
  
• Work as part of a team
  
• Receive a certificate for taking part
• Volunteering shouldn’t leave you out of pocket so we are able to cover reasonable travel costs to and from the libraries
