Provide patients or residents with a chat and some distraction

Fancy getting involved in one of our lending points and giving people a chat and a good book (or great movie or nice music album)? We can always use your help in one of our lending points!

Lender

Are you at least 16 years old, sociable and enjoy working in a group? Then a volunteer position as a lender may be for you. As a lender, you are active in a lending point and take care of library operations there. You distribute materials to the patients or residents and also provide a listening ear for the patients and residents of the care facility.

Reading parent

You enjoy reading aloud, working with children or the elderly, are sociable and at least 16 years old. Do you recognize yourself in this profile? Then you are the perfect candidate for reading aloud. Both children and the elderly are sometimes unable to read a book themselves. Reading aloud can be a good alternative, both in groups and individually. Afterwards you can discuss books together. You also participate in activities with and around books or audiovisual materials.
