+Only two libraries were represented at this meet, Lara Pugh from Wollongong City Libraries and Sujatha Thadakamalla from Fairfield City Open Libraries.

+Lara presented a paper - Developing a community engagement plan through preliminary engagement with service providers for Wollongong City Libraries’ Learning City Project and Sujatha shared the various resources and service facilities made available from public libraries and in specific at Fairfield City Open Libraries.
+One of the sessions discussed was ‘Language Inclusion Index: Capacity, Access and Visibility for inclusive engagement’  Project by, Macquarie University.  Fairfield City Council is part of the project for survey, but library was not involved for discussions, which would have been a better place to provide the input on the topic, being engaged with most of the community.
