"As a Library Volunteer I have a unique opportunity to meet new people and help provide a valuable service to my community. I thoroughly enjoy being part of the team,making new friendships and learning new skills. Above all it feels good when people visit the library and say 'Thank you for being here'."

"The Library gives me an opportunity to interact with people from my local community who use the library's services. It's clear how important those brief chats and connections are to people who come in."

“The Library to me is a place of opportunity - to find fiction to enjoy, to research family history and to gather as a community. I like to take time away from a screen to enjoy a good book with real pages! In the library you can browse to see what kind of book you're getting before you take it home and there's the chance to chat to library staff to get some good recommendations! It's also a place of peace, to escape from the hectic world for a short time.”

“The Library is an important, free, convenient resource for the local community”

"One of my special childhood memories is of being taken to the library by my Dad, and it felt like a wonderful world to me. It still does."

"The library is a chance to meet new friends, help out library visitors and learn different and new skills after 40 in my previous career. To be able to help local people with job applications, CVs, holiday tickets, group meetings, book ordering and loans and so many activities or just sit and read my book. Come and join us!”
