We are super excited to announce Australian School Library Day. Celebrating on the 24th of August, 2022, Australian School Library Day sits in the middle of the Children's Book Council of Australia's Book Week. It is the perfect opportunity to highlight incredible Australian children's literature and the amazing things Australian school libraries do.

A massive thanks to the Children's Book Council of Australia for welcoming this new day of celebration into Book Week. We hope the combination of Book Week and Australian School Library Day is the perfect way to celebrate all things Australian literature and libraries.

It is easy to get involved. Check out these ideas on how to celebrate Australian School Library Day. Incorporate the ideas with your Book Week celebrations, especially the Dreaming With Eyes Open theme of 2022. You can find more information on the CBCA Book Week, theme and resources on the CBCA website. 

We'd love to see how you celebrate. Share your plans on social media, use the hashtag #ASLD2022 and tag the Students Need School Libraries accounts.
