This one-day forum will showcase libraries, projects and successes to recognise outstanding achievements in the public library sector and to inspire public library practitioners.
The themes for Library stars: best of the best will reflect the CLICK theme for the ALIA 2006 Biennial conference:
- How do public libraries Create value?
- How do they lead the debate on Literacy, reading and access to information?
- What Innovations are occurring?
- How do libraries Connect with their communities?
- Sharing Knowledge with colleagues.
The program features:
Keynote address by Rolf Hapel, library director, Aarhus Public Libraries, Denmark.
Presentations on seven outstanding public library services and programs from around Australia covering:
- Three diverse reading and literacy programs - local, bilingual and state-wide;
- an indigenous local knowledge collection;

- innovative use of digital technology to provide library materials to people with sight impairment; and
