Mia wrote a report about volunteering at her local library in Wellington. Each Saturday she shelved returned books, helped younger children find suitable stories, and checked that the reading corner stayed tidy. She found that the most popular books were adventure and animal stories. Mia said the library was important because it gave people free access to information, quiet study space, and community programmes. She finished by noting that even small jobs helped the library run smoothly.
