If you're willing to learn and develop different skills, then you actually learn a lot about what you're interested in – Lily Giles, Youth Services Officer What do you find the most enjoyable about your role?I find the inter-related issues we get at Ku-ring-gai really interesting; environmental, ecological, heritage.

It's a changing field and the legal interpretations are complex; I find that so exciting – Amy Ayling, Team Leader Development Assessment What would you say to someone considering a career in Ku-ring- gai libraries?I think councils and public libraries are quite often seen as very old fashioned and stuck in their ways.

But that couldn't be further from the truth – it's such a dynamic place If you get a kick out of making a difference in someone's life, then council is a great place to work.

And working in councils could suit anyone because there's just so many different types of work, so I'd totally recommend it – Michelle Swan-Beardmore, Manager Library Services.
