You can learn about any part of volunteering that interests you the most whether it’s working with books, people, admin, social media, or a bit of everything. As a Book Department Volunteer, you’ll develop skills that boost your confidence.

What happens next?

After you apply the manager will ask you to come in for an initial chat. This is not an interview, just a chance to get an idea of what you'd like to do in the shop. From there you can meet the rest of the volunteer team and get involved with whatever area of the shop takes your interest!
