Horley Infant School has the most beautiful library ever - it's enough to make Matilda squeal with delight! Located at the heart of our school, the enormous artificial tree is a symbol that reading and books can grow your mind and take small ideas from the form of a tiny acorn to the strongest oak. 

Our library opens at 3pm every Friday and we are looking for a friendly and committed individual to help us keep the library in top-top shape and to ensure the children are able to borrow books and return them on a regular basis.  Our librarian would be in school from 2:30 - 3:30 every Friday during term-time to keep the shelves filled with glorious books and then support the children with scanning their books in/out in readiness for a weekend of nose-diving into a book.

The school librarian would use 'Libresoft' which is a simple and easy-to-use library software to keep track of the books loaned / returned and this comes with training and support. 

What skills do I need?

- Friendly

- Calm

- Organised / enjoys tidy spaces

- Enjoys working with children

- Confident using simple IT programmes

- Approachable
