Volunteering Opportunities with Wash Common Library (Friends of Wash Common Library)

About

Wash Common Library is a Community Library funded and run by The Friends of Wash Common Library. (Registered charity 1179703) The Charity was set up in 2017 as a response to the threatened closure of the library by West Berkshire Council. After a campaign lasting nearly two years the Friends, with support from Newbury Town Council, re-opened the library as a Community library. The library is separate from the West Berkshire Library service and is run entirely by volunteers. It is currently open for 10 hours a week, but we hope to expand these hours and also offer a variety of activities and services to the local community. We hope the library will become a Community Hub. The charity is run by a Management Committee which meets every month and currently has eight trustees.
