Everyone who works in and for our library is a volunteer. That includes all the trustees, the IT co-ordinator, the volunteer co-ordinators, the library assistants, PR team, cleaners, cataloguers, book update team… yes, everyone is a volunteer!
In our first year open, over 12,000 volunteer hours were spent running the Library. That does not include all the hours put in before the Library opened.
Volunteers offer their time depending on their availability. Some can just manage a couple of hours, once a fortnight, while for others it is like a full-time job.
