Are you a creative, part of a community group or organisation? We're looking for people to help us deliver exciting and engaging events for children and youth.
We're particularly interested in hearing ideas from a range of artists, including musicians, designers, and illustrators. Anyone who might offer a new, unique, or special experience for children and youth. We’re seeking events that are different to our existing children’s and youth programming that might attract new audiences to our libraries.
If this sounds like something you can provide, we'd love to hear from you!
You can find more details about selection criteria, eligibility and available spaces on our information page.
Apply here. Applications close Sunday 29 March, 2026.
