A big thank you to Y Coleg Merthyr Tudful / The College Merthyr Tydfil and Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil for hosting yesterday's Volunteer Fair!

We had a fantastic time chatting with students about the different volunteering opportunities available through the library service and sharing how they can get involved in supporting their local community.

It was great to meet so many enthusiastic people, and we look forward to welcoming some new volunteers in the future. 📚😊
