It is appropriate to label the resources in your library which include information on Indigenous histories andcultures Many libraries use labels with an Aboriginal flag design on the book spines Spine labels are availablefrom library suppliers You can also print and use an example from this online toolkit [3]

This case study was kindly provided by Jim Maguire Library Manager at Port Macquarie library
NAIDOC Celebrations - Port Macquarie Library
Each year as part of the Naidoc celebrations the library has had a presence at the Family Fun Day Since 2013this has involved taking the library van to the event to promote our services From the librarys perspective it is agreat opportunity to engage directly with the local Aboriginal community and to ensure they are aware of the fullrange of programs and services we provide At the event we have engaged in a range of activities mostly aimed atchildren including story sessions and craft activities with local totems For the past two years we have run VirtualReality demonstrations which have proven very popular with hundreds of participants sharing the experience
Coonamble library
This case study was kindly provided by Raquel Pickering Librarian - Coonamble Shire Library
Consultation with Aboriginal people of the Coonamble community during the local NAIDOC event revealed a highproportion of Aboriginal people surveyed did not consider the library to be relevant to them However a high

proportion desired opportunities for social educational and community connections
Coonamble library implemented a number of strategies that have made a big impact for little effort We have nowseparated our collections to include an Indigenous Collection and tagged it as such with the Aboriginal flag andsignage This includes junior fiction young adult adult and non-fiction All of these books are written by Indigenousauthors or have an Indigenous subject The Indigenous Literacy Foundation has been of tremendous support withthis by helping to grow our collection and also offering ideas on what to include We decided to leave ourIndigenous picture books with the rest of the picture books as we have a dedicated childrenrsquos area and they areseen and borrowed a lot more frequently from that area
Council sought expressions of interest from local Indigenous artists to submit artwork for consideration for purchaseand display within the library and as a result we have over 20 artworks prominently displayed at the front of thebuilding which we believe shows that the library has a whole of community approach We also include at least oneIndigenous activity or lesson during each holiday The library is one of the only organisations to provide art sportand learning activities during the school holidays at no cost and it is heavily attended by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children
The library also participates in NAIDOC day each year Last year we attended a Sports and Culture Carnival andtook our tablet so we could show attendees our catalogue the Indigenous collection and the childrenrsquos collectionWe were based at a large table so we got a long roll of brown paper and coloured paints and had kids and adultspaint their hand and press to the paper We put their name and age under it and we displayed in the library along awall with NAIDOC Day 2016 written on it The kids loved coming in and seeing their hands and their names on the

wall
One of our greatest successes has been our Movie Night held fortnightly during school term at the library Startingat 5pm when the library closes a movie is shown on our big screen projector Two Community DevelopmentOfficers employed by Council run the night and we provide light refreshments including popcorn water ndash and atintermission sandwiches and cheese and biscuits Attendee numbers can range from five to thirty five We do notcharge a fee or require bookings just that each child be over 10 (unless accompanied by an adult) and have a formfilled out by their guardian with contact numbers and any medical concerns The majority of attendees have been ofAboriginal descent and the movies are G or PG movies that the library owns On the whole we believe that wehave made Coonamble Shire Library a welcoming and inclusive space for both Indigenous and non-Indigenouspeople to visit

Coonamble library implemented a number of strategies that have made a big impact for little effort We have nowseparated our collections to include an Indigenous Collection and tagged it as such with the Aboriginal flag andsignage This includes junior fiction young adult adult and non-fiction All of these books are written by Indigenousauthors or have an Indigenous subject The Indigenous Literacy Foundation has been of tremendous support withthis by helping to grow our collection and also offering ideas on what to include We decided to leave ourIndigenous picture books with the rest of the picture books as we have a dedicated childrenrsquos area and they areseen and borrowed a lot more frequently from that area
Council sought expressions of interest from local Indigenous artists to submit artwork for consideration for purchaseand display within the library and as a result we have over 20 artworks prominently displayed at the front of thebuilding which we believe shows that the library has a whole of community approach We also include at least oneIndigenous activity or lesson during each holiday The library is one of the only organisations to provide art sportand learning activities during the school holidays at no cost and it is heavily attended by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children
The library also participates in NAIDOC day each year Last year we attended a Sports and Culture Carnival andtook our tablet so we could show attendees our catalogue the Indigenous collection and the childrenrsquos collectionWe were based at a large table so we got a long roll of brown paper and coloured paints and had kids and adultspaint their hand and press to the paper We put their name and age under it and we displayed in the library along awall with NAIDOC Day 2016 written on it The kids loved coming in and seeing their hands and their names on the

One of our greatest successes has been our Movie Night held fortnightly during school term at the library Startingat 5pm when the library closes a movie is shown on our big screen projector Two Community DevelopmentOfficers employed by Council run the night and we provide light refreshments including popcorn water ndash and atintermission sandwiches and cheese and biscuits Attendee numbers can range from five to thirty five We do notcharge a fee or require bookings just that each child be over 10 (unless accompanied by an adult) and have a formfilled out by their guardian with contact numbers and any medical concerns The majority of attendees have been ofAboriginal descent and the movies are G or PG movies that the library owns On the whole we believe that wehave made Coonamble Shire Library a welcoming and inclusive space for both Indigenous and non-Indigenouspeople to visit

Aboriginal and Torres Strait culture in Australia is living and contemporary it is important to reflect this in publiclibrary collections and not to be restricted to historical viewpoints It is also important to seek out Aboriginal authorsand perspectives One way to keep abreast of new publications is to follow Indigenous publishing houses andsuppliers including
Magabala Books [4]IAD Press and Angkitja Books [5] (formerly Jukurrpa imprint)Aboriginal Studies Press [6](AIATSIS)University presses (eg Batchelor Press [7])Ask your local land council and community members to let library staff know of new local publicationsThese may be acquired for library collections as appropriate
Other avenues for finding notable new titles include
Award shortlists frequently highlight Aboriginal authors and Indigenous themes (eg CBCA Childrenrsquos Bookof the Year Notables List Indigenous Writers Award [8] Speech Pathology Australia include a category forIndigenous Children in their annual book of the year awards)Booklists compiled by readers bookshops and book bloggers
Curating books with the assistance and consultation of community is a good way of adding to your collection ifthere is a lack of commercial local content
Consider a wide range of material for your collections including
Family History and Local History Fiction Encyclopaedias (eg Horton David ed (1994) The Encyclopaedia of Aboriginal Australia Aboriginal andTorres Strait Islander history society and culture Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait IslanderStudies Canberra ACT)Sciences (eg agriculture astronomy bush medicine)HistoryArts and sportsLanguage and culture
Newspapers and Journals
Aboriginal History Koori Mail National Indigenous Times First Nation TelegraphCape York News (Torres Strait)Land Rights News Northern Council [9] and Land Rights News Central Council [10]
Photographs
Photographs are valuable community records They can illustrate a persons or familys connection to communityand Country Old photographs such as images of sporting teams or local schools can demonstrate communitycohesion over generations
To enhance your collection you could consider taking photos of the various programs that you conduct withmembers of the local Indigenous community You could also consider building your photographic collection bycommissioning a local person to take photos of significant events such as NAIDOC festivals or ceremonies held inthe community

NAIDOC Celebrations - Port Macquarie Library
Each year as part of the Naidoc celebrations the library has had a presence at the Family Fun Day Since 2013this has involved taking the library van to the event to promote our services From the librarys perspective it is agreat opportunity to engage directly with the local Aboriginal community and to ensure they are aware of the fullrange of programs and services we provide At the event we have engaged in a range of activities mostly aimed atchildren including story sessions and craft activities with local totems For the past two years we have run VirtualReality demonstrations which have proven very popular with hundreds of participants sharing the experience

This case study was kindly provided by Raquel Pickering Librarian - Coonamble Shire Library
Consultation with Aboriginal people of the Coonamble community during the local NAIDOC event revealed a highproportion of Aboriginal people surveyed did not consider the library to be relevant to them However a high

proportion desired opportunities for social educational and community connections
Coonamble library implemented a number of strategies that have made a big impact for little effort We have nowseparated our collections to include an Indigenous Collection and tagged it as such with the Aboriginal flag andsignage This includes junior fiction young adult adult and non-fiction All of these books are written by Indigenousauthors or have an Indigenous subject The Indigenous Literacy Foundation has been of tremendous support withthis by helping to grow our collection and also offering ideas on what to include We decided to leave ourIndigenous picture books with the rest of the picture books as we have a dedicated childrenrsquos area and they areseen and borrowed a lot more frequently from that area
Council sought expressions of interest from local Indigenous artists to submit artwork for consideration for purchaseand display within the library and as a result we have over 20 artworks prominently displayed at the front of thebuilding which we believe shows that the library has a whole of community approach We also include at least oneIndigenous activity or lesson during each holiday The library is one of the only organisations to provide art sportand learning activities during the school holidays at no cost and it is heavily attended by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children
The library also participates in NAIDOC day each year Last year we attended a Sports and Culture Carnival andtook our tablet so we could show attendees our catalogue the Indigenous collection and the childrenrsquos collectionWe were based at a large table so we got a long roll of brown paper and coloured paints and had kids and adultspaint their hand and press to the paper We put their name and age under it and we displayed in the library along awall with NAIDOC Day 2016 written on it The kids loved coming in and seeing their hands and their names on the

One of our greatest successes has been our Movie Night held fortnightly during school term at the library Startingat 5pm when the library closes a movie is shown on our big screen projector Two Community DevelopmentOfficers employed by Council run the night and we provide light refreshments including popcorn water ndash and atintermission sandwiches and cheese and biscuits Attendee numbers can range from five to thirty five We do notcharge a fee or require bookings just that each child be over 10 (unless accompanied by an adult) and have a formfilled out by their guardian with contact numbers and any medical concerns The majority of attendees have been ofAboriginal descent and the movies are G or PG movies that the library owns On the whole we believe that wehave made Coonamble Shire Library a welcoming and inclusive space for both Indigenous and non-Indigenouspeople to visit

Coonamble library implemented a number of strategies that have made a big impact for little effort We have nowseparated our collections to include an Indigenous Collection and tagged it as such with the Aboriginal flag andsignage This includes junior fiction young adult adult and non-fiction All of these books are written by Indigenousauthors or have an Indigenous subject The Indigenous Literacy Foundation has been of tremendous support withthis by helping to grow our collection and also offering ideas on what to include We decided to leave ourIndigenous picture books with the rest of the picture books as we have a dedicated childrenrsquos area and they areseen and borrowed a lot more frequently from that area
Council sought expressions of interest from local Indigenous artists to submit artwork for consideration for purchaseand display within the library and as a result we have over 20 artworks prominently displayed at the front of thebuilding which we believe shows that the library has a whole of community approach We also include at least oneIndigenous activity or lesson during each holiday The library is one of the only organisations to provide art sportand learning activities during the school holidays at no cost and it is heavily attended by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children
The library also participates in NAIDOC day each year Last year we attended a Sports and Culture Carnival andtook our tablet so we could show attendees our catalogue the Indigenous collection and the childrenrsquos collectionWe were based at a large table so we got a long roll of brown paper and coloured paints and had kids and adultspaint their hand and press to the paper We put their name and age under it and we displayed in the library along awall with NAIDOC Day 2016 written on it The kids loved coming in and seeing their hands and their names on the

Poetry slam Family history Local history
Book clubs
While not specifically aimed at the local Indigenous community your book club could focus on good contemporaryAboriginal and Torres Strait Islander publications All book shops carry current publications but there are a few thatspecialise in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander resources Below an example of the publishers you couldpurchase from

proportion desired opportunities for social educational and community connections
Coonamble library implemented a number of strategies that have made a big impact for little effort We have nowseparated our collections to include an Indigenous Collection and tagged it as such with the Aboriginal flag andsignage This includes junior fiction young adult adult and non-fiction All of these books are written by Indigenousauthors or have an Indigenous subject The Indigenous Literacy Foundation has been of tremendous support withthis by helping to grow our collection and also offering ideas on what to include We decided to leave ourIndigenous picture books with the rest of the picture books as we have a dedicated childrenrsquos area and they areseen and borrowed a lot more frequently from that area
Council sought expressions of interest from local Indigenous artists to submit artwork for consideration for purchaseand display within the library and as a result we have over 20 artworks prominently displayed at the front of thebuilding which we believe shows that the library has a whole of community approach We also include at least oneIndigenous activity or lesson during each holiday The library is one of the only organisations to provide art sportand learning activities during the school holidays at no cost and it is heavily attended by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children
The library also participates in NAIDOC day each year Last year we attended a Sports and Culture Carnival andtook our tablet so we could show attendees our catalogue the Indigenous collection and the childrenrsquos collectionWe were based at a large table so we got a long roll of brown paper and coloured paints and had kids and adultspaint their hand and press to the paper We put their name and age under it and we displayed in the library along awall with NAIDOC Day 2016 written on it The kids loved coming in and seeing their hands and their names on the

One of our greatest successes has been our Movie Night held fortnightly during school term at the library Startingat 5pm when the library closes a movie is shown on our big screen projector Two Community DevelopmentOfficers employed by Council run the night and we provide light refreshments including popcorn water ndash and atintermission sandwiches and cheese and biscuits Attendee numbers can range from five to thirty five We do notcharge a fee or require bookings just that each child be over 10 (unless accompanied by an adult) and have a formfilled out by their guardian with contact numbers and any medical concerns The majority of attendees have been ofAboriginal descent and the movies are G or PG movies that the library owns On the whole we believe that wehave made Coonamble Shire Library a welcoming and inclusive space for both Indigenous and non-Indigenouspeople to visit
