Volunteer with our libraries

How we value our library volunteers

We love you guys!

We appreciate the time and effort you put in to volunteer with us.

It's really important to us that you feel valued, so we:

  • welcome ideas and suggestions that can help us improve the service
  • show our appreciation through regular catch-ups
  • show your work off through our promotional activities
  • won't make you re-apply, if you'd like to change roles
  • hold regular "thank you" get-togethers

We're committed to you

To encourage your development and ensure your safety, we:

  • provide all necessary training
  • support you with any additional needs
  • provide risk assessments if you're a young volunteer or vulnerable adult
  • get consent from a parent or guardian, if you're a young volunteer
  • help you to change roles, if the one you're doing doesn't work for you, or even if you just fancy a change

If you've got any questions

We'd love to answer any questions you've got. Just pop an email to volunteering@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk and ask away!
