Reading and Literacy Framework for SA Public Libraries

Over the past 5 years there have been a range of language, reading and literacy frameworks developed and launched by state or public libraries in some states of Australia.

Public Library Services are pleased to announce the release of the Reading and Literacy Framework for SA Public Libraries. PLS engaged Raising Literacy Australia (RLA) to work with PLS and the wider library network on this project.

A reading and literacy framework for South Australian public libraries will clearly state outcomes and identify principles and practices for the library network. It will also ensure a consistent approach while being able to showcase best practice, inform new program development, and identify areas that need additional support. It will clarify and consolidate, as well as potentially extend and future proof, the key role of public libraries in improving and embedding valuable literacy practices and outcomes in our communities, for all South Australians from birth to seniors.
