The US$1 million award recognises the library’s work to provide free
computer and Internet access and training to Indigenous communities and
for its unique ‘Our Story’ database.

Being the recipient of the Access to Learning Award recognises the

and plays a part in helping our Indigenous communities to survive and
prosper through improved literacy skills and access to information.
