Meet new people, learn new skills, and participate in the stories of our community as a City Library or Arts and Museum volunteer.
As a volunteer, you can share your passion for arts, culture and customer service. With our new and exciting cultural service facilities in Yarrila Place, you may choose to enhance the visitor experience, support our cultural programs or help behind the scenes to ensure its smooth running.
Volunteering at Yarrila Arts and Museum is a great way of discovering more about the arts and local history, gaining work experience, making new friends and supporting your local arts and cultural institutions.
Volunteering at our one of our 3 libraries will enable you to use your skills and experience in a range of activities including assisting at events and story time, preparing craft activities, delivering books between branches and to housebound residents and re-shelving books and other items.
