Review of the year’s activities and summary of the main achievements during the year
During the period of this report the organisation has continued to run volunteer operated sessions with advisory input from North Yorkshire County Council. Training for new volunteers is ongoing in the systems and processes and North Yorkshire County Council periodically offers training to new
volunteers. In addition, we have face to face training for new initiatives undertaken by members of the management committee and a part-time self-employed contractor.
During this period Tadcaster Community Library has received funding of £800 from Selby District Council in recognition of services offered at the library to assist citizens accessing District Council services, as there is no council presence in the town
In the second portion of the pandemic it was possible to keep the library open for most of the planned sessions and gradually users of the service have returned though in smaller numbers tan pre pandemic levels.
