History of the State Library of Queensland

Our organisation

Senior staff

The State Library has been enriching the lives of Queenslanders for over a century.  We are the primary custodian of Queensland’s documentary heritage.  We are also a significant partner with local government to provide library services for over 340 public libraries and Indigenous Knowledge Centres.

Directions

The State Library is reimagining library services, progressively realising the potential of digital technologies and collaborative approaches for empowering people to discover, use, share and transform content in library collections and available globally, to create new content, and to connect with each other. We are advancing our agenda for making libraries more valuable than ever for Queenslanders through a range of partnerships, including with National and State Libraries Australasia; the public library network; other cultural institutions; schools and universities; and across all levels of government.

Objectives

The State Library is embracing changes to our service delivery to meet the evolving needs and expectations of our clients, based on eight objectives:

The Library Board of Queensland is the governing body of the State Library of Queensland and draws its powers from the Libraries Act 1988 [new window]. The object of this Act is to contribute to the cultural, social and intellectual development of all Queenslanders. The services and collections of the State Library are delivered through a number of key organisational programs under the direction of a team of senior management staff.
