The ALIA Public Libraries Advisory Committee has been asked to identify Australia’s biggest and smallest library - and so the search begins. Does your Library qualify for one of these titles? I know we should trust you but if you want to be involved you’ll have to get the tape measure out and supply us with sq metreage so we can confirm to confirm a definite winner in each category. Oh, and a photo would be great. All entries should be with me by COB Friday 15th October jrichards@orange.nsw.gov.au. Will there be a prize? Yes indeed there will be a certificate, some lovely (yet to be arranged) publicity and maybe something else. We’ll be progressively posting your stories here.
To get your creative juices started you might want to look at this story about a library in a phone box in North Yorkshire. It takes the term ‘re-purposing’ to a totally new level.
Have a great day
