Volunteers for Closed Week, 12-14 August 2013


End of Closed Week, 2012

Stuart Hall Library, part of Iniva at Rivington Place, is a special Library focusing on international visual arts.


The Library will be closed for a week in August (12-16) to undertake essential Library housekeeping work, and the Library team are looking for volunteers to help.

This is an opportunity for:

- those with an interest in libraries

- pre-library school applicants to acquire basic Library skills

You will gain valuable insights into how a special Library collection is managed and organised by working on tasks including:

- Shelving

- Journals maintenance

- Basic catalogue work

- Collection care


Professional Library qualifications are not essential, but knowledge of how to use a Library and searching catalogues is required. You will need to be available for three days, from Monday 12 to Wednesday 14 August, 10.30-4.30.

Lunch and travel expenses will be reimbursed.

Please email a CV and covering letter to Sonia Hope, Library Manager explaining why you would like to volunteer at the Stuart Hall Library.

Closing date: Friday 2 August.

Informal meetings to be held week beginning 5 August.

Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) explores key issues in society and politics, creating a platform for artistic experiment, cultural debate and exchange of ideas. We work with artists, curators, creative producters and writers to promote a greater understanding diversity in a rapidly changing world.
