Job and Volunteering Vacancies
Volunteers required
Share Bristol: Library of Things in Kingswood (BS15 4AA) are on the lookout for more volunteers to expand their opening hours.
The main roles are librarians, to help check the borrowed "Things" in and out of the library and "Thing Technicians" to check each "Thing" is working after being returned and fix if needed (if skilled in that area), e.g. drills, sewing machines, garden tools.
Both roles are ideal for friendly people who love to chat to members of the public, have a few hours spare each week/fortnight and have some computer skills. All training is provided.
The Library of Things is a Community Interest Company and members can borrow all sorts of items for free to save money, save space and save the environment. Membership is just £20/year for concessions and £50 for everyone else.
There is further information and an application here www.sharebristol.org.uk/get-involved/volunteering or email kay@sharebristol.org.uk or drop into the Library of Things (1-5 High St, BS15 4AA) on a Saturday between 10 am and 2 pm to find out more.
COULD YOU SPARE THE TIME TO JOIN THE DIGITAL CHAMPIONS?
Digital Champions are now back!
