The National Centre for Australian Children's Literature
As you can see our name and banner have changed. For the last two years, the Board has been working towards positioning the Lu Rees Archives as the premier collection of Australian Children's Literature. Our tag line is "Sharing our nation's heritage". We have our vision for the future, "Our literary past, present and future are preserved in the Centre, through the stories that touched our hearts and stirred our imaginations as children. It documents and shares the creative process, and inspires the next generation of readers with research collections, exhibitions and outreach activities."
At our Annual General Meeting held on 23 September, our Board and Members unanimously agreed to change our name from the Lu Rees Archives of Australian Children's Literature Inc to the National Centre for Australian Children's Literature Inc. We are doing this because the new name succinctly states what we are, clearly conveys our intent and embodies our vision for the future. We will continue to honour Lu Rees, as our founder, in our history, through a long-established award in her name, and in other ways.
We will soon arrange small group meetings with authors, illustrators and publishers who are immediately concerned with the Centre, to share our vision for the future and to seek their support in spreading the word about our exciting plans.
If you are following us on Twitter or Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/National-Centre-for-Australian-Childrens-Literature-Inc-1468713266706872/) you can see our progress in implementing this very exciting change. Why not join in the conversation today or make an appointment to visit us when you are next in Canberra to celebrate with us.
