The State Library’s booth at CAL in November 2009 had the theme “Libraries: A Place of Endless Possibilities”. Visitors were encouraged to share their stories by writing them, typing them or telling them (to our flip cameras).
Now you can read or listen to the fantastic stories of your colleagues and celebrate the many ways libraries transform lives.
