Northern Territory Public Library Sector
| Connected Communities: Vision for Northern Territory Public Libraries 2017 – 2023 | Libraries serve the diverse needs of their communities. To ensure they’re doing this effectively, in 2016 the Northern Territory Government undertook a community consultation process to find out what Territorians want from their public libraries. The Connected Communities: Vision for Northern Territory Public Libraries 2017-2023 final report shares the vision for public libraries. This report has been informed by the community Public Consultation Report. |
| Public Library Vision and Funding Agreement Review: Public Consultation Report | The outcomes of this consultation activity were used to inform the new vision for Northern Territory Public Libraries. |
| Collection Development Policy | The Collection Development Policy was updated in 2021. It responds to the opportunity provided by the merger of the Northern Territory Library and the Northern Territory Archives Service to collect across the full range of the Territory’s physical and digital documentary heritage, including published and unpublished materials as well as government archives |
| Research Inquiry Service Charter | The Research Inquiry Service Charter explains the standards of service users can expect from Library & Archives NT's Research Enquiry Service, and how to provide feedback as part of LANT's continual service improvement. |
