Home Library Service Volunteer- Library Service
North Somerset Library Service
To deliver library books and other library materials to customers who are unable to visit the library in person. Volunteers choose the books for the customer, deliver them and return finished books back to the library. While this is not a befriending role, many customers have limited social contact and really value the opportunity to be visited and have a chat with someone.
Main tasks and activities may include: Select items for customers using individual customer profiles and issue them using the self-service machines; • Deliver books to customers in their homes, on a regular day and at a prearranged time; • Return all items that customers have finished with to the library and check them back in using self-service machines; • Place request for customers using the LibrariesWest catalogue. You do not need to have any previous experience of volunteering or working in a library.
