Libraries without Limits: Inclusive Libraries Summit

Be inspired to include children with disabilities and developmental delays in your library programs.

Would you like to increase your knowledge and understanding of inclusion for all children?

Each, in collaboration with NDIS Early Childhood Approach Partners Lifestart, Northcott, Mission Australia and Intereach, as well as Plumtree, are hosting an innovative Library Summit for Library staff in NSW and ACT.
