Submission in response to the Senate Community Affairs Reference Committee Inquiry into ParentsNext, February 2019

The Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) submission in response to the Senate Community Affairs Reference Committee Inquiry into ParentsNext, including its trial and subsequent broader rollout.

The location of public libraries and the services provided makes Australia's public library network an appealing opportunity for ParentsNext providers. However, library services have been used by ParentsNext providers without contacting the libraries involved. ALIA and the Australian Public Library Alliance request that ParentsNext providers consult with library managers before making use of library facilities and programs.
