Next steps

If you have a few hours to spare and are interested in volunteering in libraries ask at your local library or contact us on libraries@eastdunbarton.gov.uk.

We’ll ask you to complete an application form, meet us to discuss possibilities and give us the names of two referees. For some roles, such as working with vulnerable adults or children, we will ask you to complete a Disclosure check.
