Libraries get very busy in the summer holidays, hosting all the children who sign-up for the Summer Reading Challenge.Ìý

They rely on the efforts of student volunteers to help deliver the programme. Last year hundreds of young people were involved in the Summer Reading Challenge and this year ¹û¶³Ó°ÔºU's Volunteering Services Unit would love you to be one of them.

What's involved?

You will be talking to children (mainly aged 4 to 11) about the books they are currently reading, giving out rewards and incentives, helping them share ideas on the next books they might like to try to read and helping with displays and activities in the library.

You will be supported by library staff and given training.Ìý All you need is an interest in helping children become better readers, a friendly and positive approachÌýand enthusiasm for children's books and events.

Location: Westminster Libraries' children's departments across the city.

Time/Commitment: Flexible commitment during late July and throughout August
