-The project is looking on how the information is available on libraries websites. Is the information easily available to customers with disabilities. What is available online and how is balanced? The project will take a year to complete, staring March 2023 until March 2024.
+The Department of Communities and Justice (DCJ) hosted the first inaugural Multicultural Community Engagement Conference: Filling in the puzzle: The bigger picture of engagement on Thursday, 27 October 2022 at PARKROYAL Parramatta, 30 Phillip Street, Parramatta New South Wales.
-Fairfield Library is participating in the project.
+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.
