As a Meet and Greet Volunteer, you’ll be the warm, welcoming face that greets visitors when they arrive. You’ll help create a positive first impression, offer basic information about library services and events, and signpost customers to staff when they need more detailed support. You’ll also help promote our activities and ensure everyone feels included, supported, and confident using the library.

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet new people, gain experience in a customer‑focused environment, and make a meaningful difference to your local community. Full induction and role‑specific training are provided, along with ongoing support from library staff and the Volunteer Coordinator.

We’re looking for volunteers who are:

• Friendly and approachable
• Good communicators
• Reliable and punctual
• Inclusive and respectful of all members of the community
