VOLUNTEERS are needed to help run a summer reading programme in a town’s library.

The Summer Reading Challenge will take place at Ongar Library over the school holidays.

Volunteers will need to talk to children about what books they have been reading and their views on these books, handing out rewards and helping children and parents fill in forms.

Anyone aged 14 to 18 who is interested can apply at Ongar Library in the High Street and people aged 16 to 25 can also apply via the website www.vinspired.com.

The closing date is the end of today (Friday).
