WORCESTERSHIRE Libraries are seeking young volunteers for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge.
The Summer Reading Challenge is a partnership between The Reading Agency and local libraries which promotes reading among children aged between 4 and 11 during the summer holidays.
Locals between the ages of 13 and 24 are encouraged to volunteer a minimum of five hours of their time to assist library and learning staff with the project.
At the end of the programme, each volunteer will be presented with a certificate of participation as a token of appreciation for their commitment.
There are also a host of other voluntary roles available for people to help out in the Summer Reading Challenge.
Coun Marcus Hart, cabinet member for communities said: “The Summer Reading Challenge is always popular with our younger readers here in Worcestershire and I’m sure this year will be no exception.
“By joining as a volunteer, you have the power to make a real difference in the lives of children and ignite their love for books.
