Library & Information Week 2025
Library and Information Week was held in libraries around Australia last week. The 2025 theme ‘To Read or Not To Read: Literacy Matters’ shines a light on how libraries actively work to dismantle barriers to literacy including supporting communities in the areas of literacy, media literacy, multicultural engagement, digital inclusion, disability access and more. Check out our ‘Six reads in six words’ recommendations for our Junior School by library staff member Ms Hanger!
