Thank you to the schools and vendors of library management systems that participated in this year’s Educational Lending Rights School Library Survey. Over the past 2 months, ESA has been collecting and collating data from across the county, to ensure the Australian Government can fairly compensate creators of Australian book content for the free use of their books in our school libraries. This week, we’re excited to draw our survey competition winners—one recipient of a gift card and two recipients of book packs. Be sure to check your email to find out if you're a winner!
