The winner of The Sydney Morning Herald Essay Prize, 14-18 age category: Eliza Hoh.

Two love letters to libraries have recently appeared in the print media.

  • The Sydney Morning Herald Essay Prize, 14-18 age category, Eliza Hoh, Can I Please Borrow A Million Dollars?  An edited part of her essay, which powerfully conveys the value of public libraries, is available online.
  • A Sanctuary Made of Books: Stephen McCauley’s Love Letter to Writing in Libraries. Stephen McCauley is an American author.

Although we already know this, its good to hear external viewpoints on the impact that libraries have on communities and the individuals living in them and to see them broadcast in media.
