Volunteers will help older people continue their love of books and offer them the stimulation of reading.
When a library user or other book lover moves to sheltered housing or a care home they may no longer be able to get hold of books.
When this is the case the Library Service will provide a free books-on-wheels service. The delivery of the books will be undertaken by a new team of volunteers, and it is this team for which they are recruiting now.
Volunteers will be part of a team and meet new people, while gaining the experience of bringing stimulation and company to isolated people.
The Library Service would love to hear from anyone who can spare a few hours a month – whether unemployed, recently retired or just having some spare time.
The library service will provide all the training and support needed, as well as travel expenses.
