HAVE YOUR SAY

Have you visited a library with your child? We’d love to hear about your experience.

Libraries should be welcoming spaces for all families. Have you noticed positive changes when visiting your local library? While inclusion is growing, some barriers can still make outings challenging for children with disabilities or developmental delays.

Plumtree has created a free online training program to support library staff to make their spaces and programs more inclusive. Now we want to know. Has this made a difference for your family?

Your feedback matters. Governments and organisations want to understand what’s working well and what still needs to change.

By taking this short survey, you’ll help shape a more inclusive future for all families. As a thank you, you’ll also be entered into the draw to win a $50 book voucher.
