This free session is designed for library staff who want to create more inclusive and welcoming environments for children with disabilities and their families. You’ll get the chance to:

Hear directly from families and inclusion experts

Ask questions in a safe, open environment

Walk away with practical strategies you can implement right away

Whether you’re working in a school, council, or community library, this is an excellent opportunity to grow your inclusion toolkit and support every child who walks through your doors.
Why We Share Initiatives Like This

Our job at FSI isn’t just to build the best library management software (though we’re proud to say we do that too). It’s to back the educators, library staff, and decision-makers who are shaping the future of learning.

That means amplifying opportunities like this one, not because we benefit, but because you do.

We want our community to be inspired, informed, and connected to the broader conversation happening in libraries across Australia and the world. From free PD sessions and webinars to grassroots projects and national conferences, we’re committed to spotlighting the initiatives that help you grow.

If you come across a session, resource, or initiative that deserves a wider audience, let us know! We’re always looking for ways to shine a light on the great work happening in our library community.

Together, we can keep making libraries places of innovation, equity and connection, for every student, every family, and every future.

Because at FSI, we believe that education is a right, and that includes making sure every child belongs.

Topics Covered:
Supporting inclusive library practices
Librarian professional development
Promoting external initiatives within the library community
FSI’s community-driven mission
Disability inclusion in school and community libraries
