Lea Giles-Peters, State Librarian
The State Library of Queensland is committed to the belief that an empowered and progressive society depends on creative thinking and the sharing of knowledge.
In creating our vision, Enriching the lives of Queenslanders [new window] we are focused on delivering three outcomes:
- Learning for all
- Queensland memory: today for tomorrow
- Community connections
The recurrent themes of Enriching the lives of Queenslanders are renewal and reinvention, stemming from strategic partnerships and new technologies, and challenging the traditional delivery of information and knowledge to reach further into Queensland than ever before.
Our website is a dynamic tool linking the State Library to the world, and I encourage you to visit frequently and share in our vision.
I invite you to explore our website and in particular the About us pages.
