Carole Kemp, Volunteer Co-ordinator talks about volunteering: ''' I have been the Volunteer Coordinator for most of my time at the Library, having been taken on as the original Coordinator's assistant. Jessica left due to getting a full-time job and I took over and have never looked back. I look after all the volunteers that sign-up to help at the Library and I am also a Trustee, alongside my husband. I get involved with a lot of Volunteer training and looking after the running of every shift - along with my very able assistant, Jerry Dolphin. Every volunteer willing to work in the Library is thoroughly trained - saying that, though, the whole of the county had a new computer system this year and we all had to be trained again.
There are many parts to the Library - it's not just being behind the counter. There is also the Garden to take care of, DIY to do from time to time, fundraising to keep the Library open, and groups that use the Library such as 'Knit and Natter' and 'Wriggly Readers'. Groups such as Cubs, Schools and Care Homes are known to come in from time to time for a look round and a sit with a cup of tea and a biscuit. We are also a 'Warm Space' in the Winter, so anyone is invited to drop-in for a warm drink and a biscuit.''
Carole also takes responsibility for the Summer Reading Challenge held every year at the Library - a busy time! 285 children enrolled in the Challenge in 2025 and the Trophy, awarded to the local school whose children have completed the most challenges, is highly sought after.
On 9th April 2026, Burbage Community Library held its 10th Anniversary Social Event, attended by over 40 present and past Volunteers.
Last year, over 36 Volunteers were trained in First-Aid Skills, including how to use the Defibrillator positioned on the front wall of the Library.

''I have been involved with the Community Library right from its beginnings 10yrs ago. I find it incredible how it has developed in that time from just a place to borrow books to a vibrant community hub. From Wriggly Readers and the numerous children’s events to our involvement with the Scarecrow Festival and BCAF I feel that the library and its amazing volunteers contribute greatly to the community spirit of Burbage. But we also gain a great deal of satisfaction, support and friendship in return.'' Angela, Library Volunteer, July 2026
