When Australia was much poorer the libraries existed to teach and allow free reading space.Free choice was given to the child to read a book of their choice. Please keep this place sacred.Many a great writer started thinking and dreaming in a school library.
This site's original purpose was to inform the Australian community of the fight against Parallel Imports of books into this country.
We won that battle (for the time being).
This site remains vigilant about other threats to Australian children's books - like the down-sizing and closure of school libraries and loss of Teacher-Librarians.
