Last autumn, a group of volunteers from Broomhill Community Library attended the 10th anniversary celebration event of Volunteer Libraries in Sheffield. Representatives from each of the 16 volunteer libraries across the city were thanked for their success and for the many contributions to their communities over the last decade. Judith Pitchforth, Chair of Broomhill Community Trust which oversees the running of the library, was asked to share her thoughts about being a library volunteer. You can read Judith's remarks here.
