| Venue Partner - State Library of Queensland | |
The State Library of Queensland is a network of physical and virtual spaces, creatively linking diverse groups of Queenslanders to information, knowledge and each other. It plays a vital role in the knowledge economy and is part of Queensland’s cultural, educational and social landscape, sustaining and breathing life into communities.
|
Learning, knowledge, information and communication are at the core of human progress, endeavour and well-being. Every Queenslander should have the opportunity to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to understand, participate in, and benefit fully from the information society and the knowledge economy.
|
Queensland’s dynamic 21st century State Library aspires to be a place where knowledge is valued, where an educated, informed and literate community fosters inclusion, equity and social cohesion, and where thinking, engaged citizens and public discourse underpin knowledge and sustain prosperity.
|
The State Library’s vision of ‘Enriching the lives of Queenslanders’ supports three strategic outcomes: community connections, learning for all, and Queensland memory.
|
Enriching the lives of Queenslanders reaffirms the historical commitment to gathering and preserving the State’s diverse documentary heritage with a special focus on our role as the ‘knowledge ancestors’ of future generations – gathering in the contemporary record of the life of Queensland and its people, including voices that have always struggled to be heard.
|
It affirms the vital importance of ideas, the human imagination and communication. It celebrates community while insisting that the real strength of community lies in diversity and freedom of thought and expression. It envisages a place in which past and present voices are heard, where the acts of speaking and listening are honoured. It values the past, embraces the present and looks to the future.
