There are a number of ways you can help us keep our wheels turning here at the Oxford Poetry Library! Whether you’d like to get up close and personal with the books as a librarian, go front-of-house at one our excellent events, get your hands dirty at one of our crafty workshops, or do a bit of behind-the-scenes admin work, then we’ve got a role for you.

We are hugely dependent on our fantastic volunteering team to operate and are very grateful for any amount of time you can dedicate to our work. If none of the roles looks quite right or suited to your skill-set, or if you’re not sure, you can always drop us a line at oplvolunteer@gmail.com and we’d love to talk about other ways you could get involved.

You can read about our ad hoc volunteer opportunities below, but if you’d like to contribute more regularly, we are always recruiting for our working groups who oversee the various operational areas that underpin the organization. We need help with volunteer coordination, outreach, marketing, and fundraising – click these links to find out more about how to get involved!
