Volunteers Welcome

There’s lots to be done at ALoT, we need volunteers to run the library during open hours, fix, service and catalog tools, help with marketing and communications, general administration, accounts, volunteer training and coordinating and more. If you have a particular set of skills then please let us know.

ALoT is run entirely by volunteers, our hours reflect what our volunteers are able to commit to. If you wish to volunteer but are unable to make our current hours work for you, let us know! 

Tool Librarians: 

We are currently seeking volunteers who can commit to shifts, preferably once a fortnight (or more!) during open hours. As a librarian, you will be answering member enquiries, processing loans, cataloging items, and checking over our tools and equipment. Full training is provided, and we are particularly interested in volunteers who can carry out tool maintenance and repair, although this skill is not necessary. 

Library Helper 
As a Tool Library Helper, you’ll be the friendly face that keeps our library running smoothly. You’ll assist members with finding the right tools for their projects, answer basic questions, and help maintain an organised, welcoming space. Tasks include reshelving and cleaning tools, tidying and beautifying the space, preparing reservations for pickup, and pitching in with check-ins during busy times. This is a hands-on role, with limited computer based work, perfect for anyone who enjoys tools, DIY, and being part of a community that values sharing and sustainability.

Time Requirements: 

We are currently seeking volunteers who can regularly commit to volunteering 2 (or more!) shifts per month, our shifts are 2 hours each.

If you’re keen to volunteer please complete our volunteer form.
