There’s nothing our Librarian, Partnership and Governance Lisa enjoys more than receiving a long lost copy of AARL and we are down to the last missing volume...
Do you have AARL Volume 23 Issue 3 1992 sitting on your shelves? If you do, we would love to hear from you.

Each year more than 160million books are borrowed in Australia’s public libraries. Australians love to read. But the industry is facing headwinds, with technological, economic and social changes. this is why this election we are calling on candidates to put books and reading first bookscreate.com.au

I love a bit of product testing! And it’s a great way to get the information you need before you spend a lot of money. (If you are a regular at SLNSW I highly recommend having a sit and a vote. I wanted to love the green one but it was itchy 😢)
