Description
The Šilainiai Public Library, part of the Kaunas Municipal Vincas Kudirka Public Library, is much more than a place for books – it is a vibrant community hub in one of Kaunas' largest neighborhoods. As an international volunteer, you will join our Children's Space, where you'll help create fun and engaging experiences for young readers through educational activities, creative workshops, games, and events. Your tasks may include: Organizing educational and creative activities for children and young people. Supporting library staff with daily library tasks and archival activities. Bringing fresh ideas and international perspectives to the library community. Sharing your language and culture through informal foreign language activities and intercultural events.
