Public Libraries

Public libraries are a vital part of every neighbourhood, offering a range of free or low-cost services to local communities.  Librarians, Library assistants and Library Technicians are essential to providing these services to the public.

Librarians and information professionals can also be found in organisations such as State libraries, which look after our documentary heritage.

You can read more about working in public libraries at our People Profiles page.

Work experience placements, cadetships and volunteering are great ways to find out what it is like to work in a public library.  Contact your local public library or careers advisor for options and availability.
