Happy Volunteers Week to our incredible team of volunteers who help us at both Ringwood and Fordingbridge Libraries.

1 - 7 June is ! We are so grateful to our wonderful volunteers who support us in so many ways at Hampshire Libraries, so thank you!

Hear from one of our volunteers: 'I volunteer at the library because I genuinely enjoy it. I feel part of the team, and running the popular ChatAbout sessions gives me a chance to help bring people together. It's a small thing, but it means a lot.'
