Please join us at your local library to take part in sharing what reconciliation means to you by decorating a paper gum leaf and adding to the library tree.
The National Reconciliation Week (NRW) 2025 theme, Bridging Now to Next, reflects the ongoing connection between past, present and future.
At a time when Australia faces uncertainty in its reconciliation journey, this theme calls on all Australians to step forward together.
Bridging Now to Next urges us to look ahead and continue the push forward as past lessons guide us.
A crafting station has been set up in the library for this week-long activity.
