📚 Volunteers Needed! 📚

Can you help us keep our much-loved Home Delivery Service running?

One of our wonderful volunteers, Joanne, has recently retired, and we're looking for two new volunteers to join our fantastic team.

You'll need:
✅ Your own vehicle
✅ Availability on a Wednesday or Thursday morning
✅ A few hours once every four weeks to deliver books along a set route

It's a great way to support your local community and help people continue to enjoy library books from home.

Interested? Get in touch at [email protected] or send us a message. We'd love to hear from you!
