How to get involved with your library
Volunteer in a community library
Leintwardine, Peterchurch, and Weobley libraries are libraries run by volunteers on behalf of Herefordshire Libraries. If you are interested in volunteering at any of these sites, please email libraries@herefordshire.gov.uk and your details will be passed on to the relevant group.
Joint Action for Herefordshire Libraries
JAHL (Joint Action for Herefordshire Libraries) is an independent action group. Members are drawn from all the county library friends and users' organisations, and we aim to represent the needs of all library users across the county.
We will work with Herefordshire Council to develop strategies to sustain and improve library facilities and services, and with the public to explore what residents want from their libraries.
To get involved email Mark Ferrero at mark.ferrero@btinternet.com or phone 01457 540627.
Friends' groups
Our service works with you to develop and improve your library. We do this through consultation on new developments and by working in partnership with library friends and other groups.
If you are interested in setting up a friends group for your local library please email libraries@herefordshire.gov.uk
Friends of The Master's House, Ledbury
The Master's House is a Grade II* Listed building in the heart of Ledbury. The building reopened in 2015 following a comprehensive restoration funded by Herefordshire Council and the Heritage Lottery Fund, supported by the Friends of The Master's House, who campaigned for its rescue.
The building is now home to Ledbury Library. It also houses the John Masefield Archive and the Dymock Poets Collection.
The Friends are an active group of volunteers who have been involved with the building since 2007. Since the opening of the building in March 2015, the group continue to support the heritage, cultural and community events and activities held at The Master's House.
