Programs and partnerships officer at the Bega Valley Shire Library, Scott Baker, said that the library is looking for more volunteers from the Bermagui, Bega and Merimbula/Tura areas for the home library service.

The service provides library materials to residents who are house-bound for medical reasons and who are unable to visit a library; without volunteers this service would just not happen. Full training and ongoing support is provided for home library volunteers, which involves selecting materials, delivering them to a client and collecting them for return. Normally, three hours once a month is required.

To find out more about volunteering or if you would like to use the home library service, please email Scott Baker at sbaker@begavalley.nsw.gov.au or phone 6499 2172.
