Open books, open minds: How Auckland Council Libraries fills content gaps for communities

Image
Did you know Auckland Council Libraries collaborates on content creation projects?  Have you ever walked into a library and struggled to find something that reflects your culture or learning needs, or resonates with your community's experiences? We understand that feeling at Auckland Council Libraries.  That's why we created the content creation programme, a dynamic initiative where we partner with community members, organisations and publishing partners to bridge these content gaps and ensure our resources reflect the rich diversity of Tāmaki Makaurau.  Our content creation programme aims to address identified needs within our diverse communities. This can take the form of books in various languages, podcasts and videos exploring local history or digital resources that empower and celebrate the tapestry of cultures within Auckland. Working together is key to finding solutions Our collaborative process is open and inclusive. Our librarians are well-connected to community groups
