Culture Hack 18 – 24 years Bamber Bridge Library

Would you like to join the volunteers in Bamber Bridge Library? The volunteer will mainly assist with Lego Club on Saturday mornings from 11am – 12pm, but also with events in school holidays as required.

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.

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.
• Reading Groups – Hosting reading groups for children or teens encouraging them to talk about books they have read.
• Coding Clubs and Little Bits Electronics – Devising and running sessions creating bubble bots, arcade games, or simply experimenting with the electronics blocks to create new inventions.
• Science Club – Choosing experiments, hosting sessions, and researching the science behind the experiments.
