Activity description

*PLEASE apply by writing an E-Mail to susanne.sparr@aha.or.at, with your CV and Motivation Letter!* “Stadtbibliothek Dornbirn” is one of Western Austrias‘ (region Vorarlberg) largest public libraries. As a volunteer you will work in close coordination with the team in all operational areas. Those are customer contact when lending books, answering questions or providing general information as well as supporting the media inventory or the team in the production of events. All volunteers experience the cultural world in Vorarlberg during their stay. They peek behind the extensive and diverse work of a library and the cultural partners in the region. Being a volunteer at Stadtbibliothek Dornbirn is an experience, it provides a chance to work independently and to learn more about the work with different media. The volunteers’ main focus is the library for children and young people, where there's a gaming area as well as different digital and analogue media to work with.
