Seeing as our community volunteer day last year was such a success, the Library managers would like to support you to do it again this year.  If you are keen, you can take a day to do voluntary community work during your work hours. This is given without the need to take official leave.

Please discuss this with your manager if you are interested – it is a great opportunity to give back to your community.

For inspiration, look at the Volunteering Canterbury website, or you may already be involved in an organisation which offers the opportunity to volunteer your time eg. Church, Sport, Club, Community group.

Last year a group volunteered at the Smith Street Urban Farm and by all accounts, it was a very satisfying experience – you can read about it here: https://blogs.canterbury.ac.nz/counterculture/2021/12/14/report-back-volunteering-at-smith-street-urban-farm/
