PLA - Connecting Australian Public Libraries

Public Libraries Australia is excited to launch its new look website which enables members to share information and network more easily.

 Public Libraries Australia Chair, Sylvia Marshall said, 'Our website is an Australian first for public libraries! It's one place where all public libraries and their staff can connect on a national, state/territory or local basis. A place where we can all share our stories, our issues and our information with each other and with the world' Marshall went on to say 'that it is hoped that every Australian Public Library will register and participate on the website so all of Australia and the world can see the important contribution we make to the lives of our communities'.
