As much as we love books and manuscripts, State Library of Queensland is Digital by Design. We are committed to helping all Queenslanders feel at home in the digital environment, which is why we fund programs like Tech Savvy Seniors and Deadly Digital Communities to help bridge the digital divide in Queensland.

Goal 10: Reduced inequalities means we are committed to overcoming social, geographic and economic barriers to digital inclusion.
