Community

St Albans Library are looking for people over the age of 14 to volunteer as helpers in the Summer Reading Challenge this summer. Perhaps this is an opportunity for your young person if they are looking for some volunteering experience for their CV or college/university applications. 

The scheme takes place every year during the summer holidays and encourages children and their families to visit their local library and take part in a fun, free activity, reading books, chatting to volunteers about them and earning rewards.

Activities for volunteers include:

Main tasks and activities might include:

  • Registering children for the Summer Reading Challenge
  • Chatting to children and encouraging them to talk about the books and their reading
  • Awarding stickers and other incentives, when appropriate
  • Helping library staff to create Summer Reading Challenge displays
  • Helping children to choose their next read
  • Supporting library staff at Summer Reading Challenge events or activities.

This year, the scheme runs Saturday 4 July to Saturday 5 September 2026. Full training will be given and volunteers are asked to give a minimum of 12 hours.

Visit the Hertfordshire Libraries website for more information and to apply.
