The conference program will provide the opportunity to visit a number of libraries in South-East Queensland. These visits allow you to see how services are being delivered and to meet with staff.

State Library of Queensland

The award-winning State Library of Queensland located on the banks of the Brisbane River, provides five levels of unique spaces, including galleries and auditoria. Here, visitors can explore, engage and be inspired by the library services and public programs on offer, providing physical and virtual access to Queensland’s heritage, Indigenous knowledge and a wealth of information.
Since opening in 1902, the State Library of Queensland has grown to become one of Australia’s major cultural and educational destinations.

Brisbane City Council Libraries

Brisbane City Council Library Service is the largest public library service in Australia with 32 branches including the new integrated Brisbane Square Library and Customer Centre. Brisbane residents are lifelong learners who make the most of the many pathways to learning and enjoy sharing their knowledge with each other. Brisbane libraries are vibrant community hubs where people learn easily in a rich exchange of experiences and ideas, connecting with each other in discussion and debate, relaxing on their own with a book, or using technologies to informally create and distribute their own material. Brisbane libraries have programs that support Council's vision for a sustainable, inclusive, safe, friendly and creative city for all Brisbane residents

Gold Coast City Council Libraries

Gold Coast City Council is committed to building resilient, active and confident communities and offer residents across the City, an exciting range of opportunities to connect, be inspired, learn and create.

The Library Service re-development plan, Future Directions, committed Gold Coast City Council to building fewer and more substantial libraries with greater visibility, high quality collections, exceptional customer service and superior technology access for the wider community Gold Coast.

Southport Branch Library opened on 22 July 2002 and was the first GCCC branch library to be developed in line with the Future Directions framework. Southport Library houses the Gold Coast Local Studies Library with an extensive and valuable local history collection.

The new Broadbeach Branch Library opened on 26 August 2008 and along with all the branch libraries across the Coast already enjoys an enviable level of community participation and ownership.

Bond University

Bond University is a private university located on the Gold Coast – 1 hour from Brisbane. It is intended to visit both the Library and the Multimedia Learning Centre.

The Multimedia Learning Centre functions as an environment for extended learning experiences for all Bond students, as well as a digital gallery for the projection of multimedia high art and the use of computer gaming technology. It is managed and staffed centrally by Information Services (Library and ICT) and this is one of its key distinguishing factors
