People with spare time to fill are being encouraged to help out at the library.
Enfield Council is launching its “Enfield Heroes” campaign, to increase the number of people volunteering across the borough and helping to get both children and adults interested in reading.
Last year nearly 50 volunteers gave over 700 hours to libraries that supported the Summer Reading challenge and ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages), as well as guiding people to certain sections of the library and training people on computers.
The council also cover travel expenses for those who volunteer.
The next introductory days for new volunteers are:
Wednesday, January 27, at Edmonton Green Library and Friday, January 29, at the Ordnance Unity Centre.
