Be a GZL Volunteer!
Glasgow Zine Library is looking for new volunteers to add to our team. If you’re interested in zines, archives, or community arts spaces/events, this is the role for you!
Our volunteers help staff the library by making visitors feel at home, telling them about events, and keeping the zine collection tidy and looking it's best.
There's no fixed commitment for how long or how frequently you must commit to volunteering. You will receive a full induction, and reasonable travel expenses will be covered.
We have 2 main volunteer roles:
LIBRARY: Being a Library Volunteer means being in the library during our public opening hours (Fridays, Saturdays and every third Wednesday evening). Shifts are usually 3 hours long. It is a public-facing role, you will be expected to interact with members of the public.
Inducations take place quarterley, with the next ones due in January 2025
EVENTS: Being an Events Volunteer is a public-facing role that forms part of our community outreach. We go into universities, schools, colleges, community groups, and more to deliver zine-making workshops for all ages. We also run drop-in arts and crafts activities, or run tables and stalls dedicated to zines or informing people about the library. These events can range in size from a few people to several hundred.
