Libraries continually evolve.
They are prime examples of institutions successfully harnessing new technologies, and guide us through an ever-increasing volume of information. More than ever, the modern librarian is a knowledge manager, and an invaluable navigator for the information age. Another part of BIAP includes grants to primary school libraries. These funds support the purchase of Australian books for libraries across the nation. This assistance, plus other components of the BIAP, is in recognition of the invaluable contribution made by Australian authors and the publishing industry to the community.
