Work placement and volunteering
Work placement
The library is happy to take on short term work experience placements, whether it be:
- community work
- high school placements
- university and further education placements
- return to work programs
- new migrant programs
For insurance reasons, work experience must be under the auspices of an academic institution or government sponsored organisation.
The library is a popular place for work placements so we do advise that you contact us as soon as possible. There is a limit on the number of placements we can offer at a given time. To register your interest in a work placement, please reach out on our contact page.
Volunteering
The library offers volunteering opportunities to assist with visiting and delivering books to patrons through our Home Library Service.
