Penicuik Library of Things (PLoTs)

• Penicuik Community Development Trust Ltd

• VO97415

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.

Experience required

Teamwork, collaboration, and common sense. Confidence with using a computer and with interacting with library members who are borrowing and returning things. You will need to be very well organised.

Travel details

Buses that serve Penicuik are 37, 47, X62, 101 and 140
