ALIA announces sponsorship and theme for Library and Information Week

The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) has announced that Australian online retailer Booktopia will sponsor this year’s Library and Information Week.

ALIA has also announced that the theme for Library and Information Week in 2018 will be ‘Find yourself in a library’. Library and Information Week is held during the last week of May each year, and this year runs from 21 to 27 May.

The annual week-long event aims to raise the profile of libraries and information service professionals in Australia, and provides libraries and information services with ‘the opportunity to showcase their resources, facilities, events, contacts and services through different programs and events to the community’.

Originally run by the Australian Library Promotion Council and first celebrated in 1968 as ‘Australian Library Week’, Library and Information Week has been organised by ALIA since 2000.
