Shelving Squad (HVC - 2010)

Havering Library Service

Can you not stand a messy bookshelf? Do you love organising and sorting? This is the perfect role for you......

Help us keep the Library Service running smoothly by ensuring that books are organised and shelved in the right places. Not only this, but you will have the opportunity to share your love of books with Library users by recommending books and answering any queries they may have. You will also be able to creative book
displays and generally ensure the Library looks an interesting and inviting place to be. You will also have the opportunity to contribute ideas to future book orders and book displays.

What skills do I need?

We are looking for individuals with an interest in reading and enthusiasm for books with good communication and listening skills for any general enquiries from visitors. Individuals must be organised

Practical Considerations

Please keep in mind that you will need to be physically able to fulfil the role – shelving and carrying books etc. 

This role can be carried out at a flexible time to suit you during library opening hours. We ask for a minimum commitment of 3 hours per week but are open to negotiation.

This opportunity is available across all Havering Libraries. However there are more opportunities at our larger libraries (Romford, Upminster, Rainham, Hornchurch and the new Harold Hill Library (when built)), than the smaller Libraries.

When do I need to be available?
