Summary
The volunteer will lead the weekly Monday morning Storytime sessions for pre-school children and their parents/carers at Caister Library..Detailed description
Storytime is a weekly session for parents/carers and pre-school children run at Caister Library. The session aims to encourage parents and carers to listen to stories with their children, through a 30-minute-long group session providing safe space for parents to ask questions about anything they have concerns about, find information and meet other parents. The session then utilises the remaining time for 'Stay and Play' allowing the adults to have a period of social engagement.
The roles includes:
- Choosing stories and preparing for the story session in advance
- Attending at a regular time on a Monday morning
- Setting up the session and clearing away at the end
- Reading stories to children and toddlers who are visiting the library with their carers
- Talking to adults attending the session to encourage them to choose books with their children and to encourage social chat amongst them at the end of the session.
Some previous experience of working in a paid or voluntary capacity with young children and their families is desirable for this role. You will also need to undergo a DBS (criminal records) check, which the library funds, and the library will also provide safeguarding training as part of their induction training.
