Powys: Summer Reading Challenge Volunteers Aged 14 - 25 wanted over the Summer Holidays

Powys Libraries are gearing up for an exciting summer as they launch recruitment for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge Volunteers. The annual challenge, developed by The Reading Agency, encourages thousands of children to discover the joy of reading during the school holidays.

This year’s theme, “Read to the Beat”, celebrates music, rhythm, and creativity - inviting children aged 4–11 to explore stories that inspire imagination and movement.

Libraries across Powys are offering young people aged 14–25 the opportunity to get involved. Volunteers will play a key role in supporting children and families as they sign up, choose books, and take part in fun activities throughout the summer.

No previous experience is needed, and full support and guidance will be provided. Volunteers aged 16–25 will receive a free Enhanced DBS check arranged by the council.
