Description
The role is flexible. We are building a team to run our brand-new community Library of Things. Things like tools and even apple pressing equipment, for people to share instead of buy. The team will be busy with all the following tasks: pickup and drop off sessions at the Pen-y-Coe Press; administration and IT; communicating with our community, maintain our “things”; helping teach others how to use our “things” safely. Whatever you can offer, we’d love to welcome you.
The sessions for picking-up and dropping-off things at the Pen-y-Coe Press will be at publicised times, initially Saturday 10-11am, Tuesday 10am to 1 pm, and Wednesday 2-4 pm. Other tasks, such as maintaining the “things”, can be done at any time.
