To apply to volunteer with Libraries Tasmania fill in our Expression of Interest form.
Expression of Interest form
Volunteers need to have a Registration for Working with Vulnerable People before they can start. It is important they also support the values, purpose and aims of Libraries Tasmania. For more information please read our Libraries Tasmania Volunteer Information Guide.
Volunteer help in libraries across the state, but not all roles are available at every library. Some volunteer roles are also very popular and will have long waiting lists. We will hold onto your details for 12 months so you don't need to fill in the expression of interest form more than once a year.
Please email volunteercoordinator.libraries@education.tas.gov.au for more information.
