It's more important than ever to encourage primary aged children to call in to collect their books and to enjoy reading for pleasure again.

Local libraries would love to hear from young people aged 13 and over who would like to volunteer to help with this.

Young volunteers help children to choose fun books, get involved with planning and delivering children’s events and much more.

It’s a great opportunity if you enjoy reading and love books. Training and support is given and volunteering can be done in a flexible way around other interests and commitments.

And it's a great way to achieve your hours for your Power of 10 awards and rewards. ✨

We're looking for young people aged between 13 and 24 to help inspire young readers through the Summer Reading Challenge.

Volunteers are needed to work alongside library staff to help run and promote the challenge, which encourages children to read six library books over the summer holidays.

This year’s theme is Read to the Beat, inspiring children to explore the connection between stories and songs, and discovering how reading and music ignite creativity.

To find out more, visit https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/news/2026/call-volunteers-lead-music-themed-reading-challenge or contact your local library.
