The Hodgman Liberal Government wants to give Tasmanians every opportunity for a great future by ensuring they get the best possible education, which is why now is a great time to visit your local library as we enter Library and Information Week (LIW).
Running from 22-28 May, LIW is an annual event run by the Australian Library and Information Association,this years’ theme is ‘Celebrate’.
With just under three million visits in the last financial year, LINC Tasmania is one of the most frequently accessed government services in Tasmania. Additional digital content now available means that more people can benefit from the broad range of information and services on offer through LINC’s website, no matter where they live.
LINCs and libraries across the state will join the National Simultaneous Storytime event on Wednesday 24 May at 11:00 am with a reading of ‘The Cow Tripped Over the Moon’, written by Tony Wilson and illustrated by Laura Wood.
As well as supporting younger language and literacy development, LINCs play a vital role in our ten-year strategy for improving adult literacy and numeracy outcomes, benefitting from recurrent annual funding of $300,000 for the LINC Literacy Skills Development Program.
I encourage all members of the community to come and see what your local LINC or library has to offer. Find out more at www.linc.tas.gov.au
