Our Construction Club enables young families to engage in a fun, social activity whilst accessing and learning about our library environment. The activities are all about building fun objects.
We are on the hunt for 1 or 2 volunteers to help run the club, encouraging everyone to join in and lending a hand with construction.
The role is fully supported by library staff and there is a library induction and ongoing support with the role. Parents / carers stay with their children so there is no requirement for a DBS check.
