Yarra Plenty Regional Library is generously supported by the efforts of over 100 enthusiastic volunteers. We value the diversity, skills and experiences that volunteers bring, and rely on the valuable support of volunteers throughout Banyule, Nillumbik and Whittlesea to add more vibrancy and spirit to the services we provide our communities. Volunteering is a great way to develop skills, meet new people, and be involved in your local community.
