Our Yarning by Library for All
Our Yarning is a free digital library of culturally relevant education resources created by and for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Partnering with communities, Library for All is creating 500 books written by Aboriginal people for Aboriginal children, putting learning in their hands.
Our Yarning aims to address the disproportionate impact of illiteracy and low education attainment among Aboriginal children and young people by providing access to stories and reading material that mirrors their own, varied experience of the world and their diverse identities across Australia.

Columbus exhibit shows artists’ diverse depictions of ‘what public libraries mean’
“In celebration of its 
150 years, the Columbus Metropolitan Library asked 24 artists to create works that in some way pay tribute to the resources, work and impact of the library.
Stephanie Rond, director of the Carnegie Gallery where the exhibit is on display at the Main Library, selected the artists, all of whom are from central Ohio. She asked them to consider ‘what public libraries mean — specifically how they’re open to all — and what 150 years of service looks like.””
