ALIA National 2014 Conference, 15-19 September 2014 Melbourne : together we are stronger
This conference presentation discusses how the State Library of Queensland developed a collaborative framework for Literacy in 2011.  Libraries for Literacy: every day every way is a framework with four goals;advocate for greater understanding of the importance of reading to children, elevate the role of State Library and public libraries in providing literacy support, raise awareness of the State Library and public library value and capacity to address literacy issues, and build collaborative relationships across many sectors to extend the reach of literacy initiatives in communities.  
The State Library is currently reviewing the framework with a cross industry stakeholder committee in place, a cross industry workshop held and a literacy forum presented to create further conversation and debate.
