Would you like to join the volunteers in Ansdell Library in Lytham?
If you love reading and the library and are able to commit to volunteering on a regular basis, then becoming a Culture Hack could be a great opportunity for you.
Being a Culture Hack is a chance to make great things happen in your local community. It’s about having ideas large or small, supporting your community and making a real difference. As a Culture Hack you will have chance to support a range of activities as well as having the opportunity to develop your own project ideas.
On this occasion, we are looking for a volunteer to help with our Saturday morning clubs.
Please talk to a member of Library staff before applying for further guidance.
Here’s some of the ways our Culture Hacks support activities in libraries:
- Children’s Reading Schemes – Supporting activities as part of Lancashire’s Summer reading programme.
- Health and wellbeing – Being a young people’s health and wellbeing champion or supporting health and wellbeing activities.
- Games and Lego Clubs – Supporting children and families to play games together or encouraging creative Lego skills.
- Fun Palaces – Devising and hosting activities such as coding or slime making and supporting families to take part.
- Themed Book Displays – Putting together themed book displays for children and young people.
