Horley Infant School has the most beautiful library ever - it's enough to make Matilda squeal with delight! Located at the heart of our school, the enormous artificial tree is a symbol that reading and books can grow your mind and take small ideas from the form of a tiny acorn to the strongest oak.
Our library opens at 3pm every Friday and we are looking for a friendly and committed individual to help us keep the library in top-top shape and to ensure the children are able to borrow books and return them on a regular basis. Our librarian would be in school for some/all of the following opportunities:
Thursday 1:15 - 3:00 supporting Teaching Assistants and pupils within Year 1 with library sessions
Friday 2:45 - 3:15 to keep the shelves filled with glorious books and then support the children with scanning their books in/out in readiness for a weekend of nose-diving into a book.
The school librarian would use 'Libresoft' which is a simple and easy-to-use library software to keep track of the books loaned / returned and this comes with training and support.
* Please note, we are only able to process new volunteering applications during term time.
