Student Library Assistant Program

The Student Library Assistant Program continues to thrive in 2025, with notable growth in junior student participation. The program provides students with opportunities to meet new people, develop responsibility, contribute to the selection of new resources, and support library displays and promotions. Participants assist with many of the library team’s daily tasks, including borrowing and returning materials, shelving books, supporting library users, promoting library resources, and creating displays. Upon successful completion of the program, students receive a Student Library Assistant Program Certificate and are awarded a Student Library Assistant badge.

The program wrapped up the year with a relaxed and cheerful afternoon tea to say thank you to the students for all their hard work throughout the year. The library became a welcoming space where students could unwind, enjoy some tasty treats, and chat with friends and library staff in a fun, informal setting. It was a great chance for students to look back on their time in the program, share favourite moments, and feel proud of what they had achieved. Library staff took the opportunity to thank students for their enthusiasm, reliability, and the positive energy they brought to the library each week.
