Love Your Library in Your Language encourages library users from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD) to participate by writing a message of love to their library in their preferred language during Cultural Diversity Week and Harmony Week each year.
Posters to promote the campaign, along with postcards for patrons to write love messages on are distributed to participating library services. The messages are then displayed in libraries during the campaign, and services are encouraged to share these messages through social media using #loveyourlibrary. At the end of the campaign, the completed postcards are collected and shared with the Victorian Minister for Multicultural Affairs to help raise the Minister’s awareness of the importance of libraries for Victoria’s multicultural communities.
Love your Library in Your Language is managed and delivered by PLV Multicultural Services and Programs Special Interest Group and sponsored by CAVAL.
