Nominate your Great School Library!
We want to recognise amazing school libraries and the important services they provide to our schools: libraries that help children find reliable information, think critically, safely navigate the internet and find great reads.
FAIR is partnering with ALIA Schools, the Australian School Library Association, Queensland School Library Association, School Library Association of NSW, School Library Association of South Australia, School Library Association of Victoria and the Western Australian School Library Association to seek out these inspirational places of learning and discovery.
Why school libraries need our support?
We campaign for qualified library staff in schools. In some schools, students have a head start thanks to the principal's willingness to invest in a well staffed, well funded school library. In others, while parents may not realise it, their children are disadvantaged because of the lack of qualified staff and/or insufficient funds to provide adequate services.
Nominate now!
We’ve made it easy – just fill in a form online or print it (and post) to nominate your school library. Just one nomination will put the library in the running to be named one of Australia's great school libraries, but the more nominations the better.
There's no first prize - the achievements of every school library that is nominated and endorsed by our panel of school library experts will be celebrated equally.
Celebrating School Libraries
We will be celebrating Australia's Great School Libraries by listing them in an advertisement in a leading education magazine in the first term of next year. Plus, principals will receive a joint letter from Australian School Library Associations and certificate of achievement for their school.
Send us your school library fun stuff!
Encourage your school communities to nominate the school library and take part in the activities around the campaign.
Nominations can be supported by students' artwork, letters, photos, poems, songs - anything that celebrates the library!
