Volunteer at the Library

Volunteers at the Library perform a broad range of crucial roles, including organising and indexing collections to improve the community's access to them; leading public tours, family activities and events; and raising money for the Foundation.

We value our volunteers highly – the time, energy and talent they contribute is vital to our work.

For volunteers, it's a great way to develop new skills and learn more about one of Victoria's leading cultural centres. Whether you're a post-secondary student, retiree, parent or businessperson, we'd love you to volunteer with us.

Projects can be short or long term, and we provide training. Volunteering opportunities include:

repackaging special collection items
leading public tours of the building and exhibitions
helping with indexing projects
providing administrative support and data entry
presenting children's tours, activities and storytelling
assisting with digital media activities
transcribing audiovisual material.

Work experience placements are available to secondary school students in Years 10 and 11.
