ALIA Schools

ALIA’s first schools-focused group was established in 1967.

The ALIA Schools Special Interest Group is focused on advocating to improve equitable access to school library services for all Australian students. Over the years it has commissioned and championed many reports that have provided impetus for subsequent government action.

Everyone is welcome to engage with the webinars, podcast, newsletter and other resources.

Contact the group with suggestions and questions, or to express your interest in joining the committee.
