This is our chance to shine and show all the wonderful work we have done as a library community this year via #eSmartWeek.

Our library community has done an amazing job at adapting throughout this year. This year’s National eSmart Week theme is Connecting Safely. The week from 6-12 September celebrates the work libraries have done to connect safely. We’ll be in touch with some of the initiatives you can get involved in throughout this week.
