Become a Volunteer

Join our vibrant team! It’s a fun, easy way to connect with people and support your local community.



**You don’t have to be an expert.** We’re entirely volunteer-run, from the President to the desk staff. We reflect the community we serve – each person bringing a diversity of experience and knowledge. The element that unites us is a shared desire to serve the community in building a more sustainable future.

You can get started by telling us a bit about yourself in our volunteer sign-up form.



We aim to make volunteering fun and rewarding!



  • Free BTL membership

  • **Repairer:** If you’re handy with mending clothes or fixing electronics, this is the role for you! Click here for details about our upcoming repair cafes or email repaircafe@brunswicktoollibrary.org mail to be added to our list of repairers.
  • **We’re open to ideas.** Is there a volunteer role you would be perfect for, if only it existed? We want to hear about it!


**Want to host an event?** Maybe you have rad cross-stitch skills you want to share. Perhaps you’re keen to teach others how to build an Arduino watering system. Let’s work together to make it happen!
