The City of Adelaide supports National Reconciliation Week, 27 May to 3 June, commemorating the successful Referendum amending the constitution on May 27 1967, and the High Court Mabo decision on June 3 1992.

The NRW 2026 theme, "All In", calls on all Australians from all walks of life to commit to reconciliation each and every day to make change, encouraging all of us to unite for progress in advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' rights. This year's artwork, pictured in the above tile, is by Gumbaynggirr/Bundjalung artist Otis Hope Carey.

✨🎊 Our final volunteer that we're highlighting this National Volunteer Week is the fantastic Elenora who works in our LEGO Clubs ✨🎊

When asked about their volunteering role at the libraries, Elenora stated that 'volunteering at the LEGO club lets me give back through something I love. It’s a fun and creative place that has given me the chance to meet and work with new people while making a positive difference.'

Thank you to Elenora for sharing her experiences with our libraries and to all of our volunteers for their amazing work they do for our communities every single day of the year 🥰 Happy National Volunteer Week 🎉
