Library and Information Week



20 - 26 May 2013

Library and Information Week is held during the last week of May each year. This 2013 Library and Information Week theme is 'Share your Story'. 

Library and Information Week provides the community with the opportunity to:
  • find out about the wide range of services which local public and school libraries offer;
  • recognise the vital role which libraries and information services play for research and education;
  • recognise the contribution of specialist libraries for the work outcomes in corporations, government departments, hospitals and other institutions;
  • debate our information future and government approaches to it;
  • emphasise the significance of libraries in the maintenance of our history and culture at community and national levels;
  • recognise the importance of library and information services as providers of services for people who may otherwise be disadvantaged by their lack of access to information and services;
  • consider the role which libraries play in our local community, work and personal life.

National Simultaneous Storytime is held annually as part of Library and Information Week and every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres and family homes. 

This year the book is The Wrong Book by Nick Bland. 

'Nicholas Ickle is trying to tell a story, but he keeps getting interrupted by characters from other stories - a pirate, a queen, even some monsters! To get a chance to tell his story, he has to convince the others that they are in the wrong book'.
