Networks and Hub Groups

There are many informal support networks and hub groups available throughout South Australia.

Hub Groups enable school library staff working in the same library type and/or region to meet regularly for support and networking. Hub Groups are formed and organised voluntarily by interested members with the agenda decided by mutual agreement. They may include professional development, discussion on current issues, library visits, celebrations and social activities.
