MyLanguage website
The MyLanguage website provides information in over 67 languages but also highlights to CALD communities the range of services that public libraries can provide to them.
In addition, the website is a hub where CALD communities, community organisations and pubic libraries, can share information, resources and projects to promote social and digital inclusion, language and cultural maintenance.
