Teenagers are needed to help children with reading during their summer holiday.

Waltham Forest Libraries want volunteers aged 13-16 to help out with their Summer Reading Challenge.

It is hoped the programme will reach more than 5000 children in the borough, encouraging them to read and share stories through a series of challenges.

Young volunteers are needed to talk to children, hand out prizes and assist library staff with related activities.

Training will be provided and volunteers will only need to spare a couple of hours a week.

Applications must be received by 11am on June 11.
