Library and Information Week is a nationwide celebration of the contribution library and information workers make across Australia. Hundreds of libraries in schools, communities, hospitals, universities, and institutions participate by organising different events and activities.
Launched in 1968 as Australian Library Week, it is now managed by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA). The week-long celebration also promotes and raises awareness of the different services libraries and information services sectors provide.
This year’s theme is ‘Roots of Democracy.’ According to the ALIA: “…[W]e’re exploring how, why and where libraries are strengthening our democratic processes – the avenues, tactics and approaches they use, and what they can do to keep democracy thriving even when its very existence as an ideology and an ideal is being contested.”
“[It] aims to help libraries talk confidently with government, civil society, and their communities on how they are upholding democratic values every day simply by doing what they do.”
