Supporting Library Activities for Adults – Coffee and Chat Sessions – Coppull Library

Coppull Library are looking for a volunteer to help with their Coffee and Chat Sessions on Monday afternoons from 2.00pm – 4.00pm.

Lancashire libraries care and cater for the needs of their local communities and are recognised as a safe space and often the main community hub. The library service is continually involved with new projects to ensure they provide what is needed locally for all ages.

• Helping to ensure the smooth running of weekly coffee and chat sessions.

• Engaging with library users attending the sessions.
• Log volunteering hours monthly and submit expenses where applicable via an on-line computer system.
• Complete minimum level training e.g. safeguarding and commit to further training relevant to role.

Required Qualities:

• Be confident at dealing with all members of the public
