About ASLAACT
ASLA (ACT) is the professional association for all those interested in, or engaged
in, aspects of education in school libraries in the ACT. It aims to promote the
interests of Teacher Librarians, by providing a forum for professional discussion and growth.
Membership of ASLA (ACT) provides opportunities to participate in regular
professional development activities and keep up to date with developments,

survive in the information age.

public understanding of the aims and needs and importance of school libraries.
