I love libraries and it was an absolute pleasure to open the refurbished North Melbourne Children’s Library. This space is absolute magic, brought to life by murals by Gundijtmara/Kirrae Wurrong artist Patricia McKean.

How can libraries support the Voice? - get info out to the public to understand what a referendum is, encourage discussion and debate, share good resources, empower communities with understanding the process @TerriJanke #PLVconf23

We need to connect everything we offer in libraries: print, digital, online learning, programs, kits.
