Australian School Library Association




IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Please note our website is undergoing some redevelopment. Whilst you may notice some visual changes, you will not lose your content. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

The Australian School Library Association (ASLA) is the national authority, the peak forum in the field of teacher librarianship and school library resource services.

Its aim is to maximise opportunities for students to obtain independent lifelong learning and decision making skills through ASLA's commitment to :

  • High professional standards
  • Awareness of advances and changes in technology and the competence and ability to teach and use it
  • Effective, cooperative use of school resource services by the whole school community
  • Qualified teacher librarians with an image of excellence
  • Optimum use of the dual skills of teaching and librarianship.

ASLA are proud to be partnering with Kate Foster and SLANZA for the DANZ Awards!
"diversity is more than a label."

The Diversity in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand Children's Book Award has been created to recognise, award, and celebrate diverse children’s fiction. This means a children’s book published in Australia or New Zealand which pushes boundaries, challenges stereotypes, and celebrates diverse and marginalised people and communities.
