We need your help!

The aim of Everything to Everybody is to unlock the secrets of Birmingham’s Shakespeare Memorial Library, making it accessible for as many people as possible.

To do this we need your help!

We have a wide range of volunteering opportunities, and welcome people of all ages (18+), abilities and levels of experience.

These include helping with community events, supporting our education programme, and working with our librarian and digitisation officer to translate, organise, repair and digitise some of the 100,000 items in the collection!

Some roles will need experience, but we are able to offer training and support for almost all activities. If you are interested in learning more, please fill in this form.

You can also email Lauren (Community Engagement and Volunteer Officer) at l.jansen-parkes@bham.ac.uk
