Our Yarning provides access to stories written by Aboriginal people, reflecting the diversity of their lived experience. Our aim is to fill the library with 500 books, a number research shows is an optimum starting point to cover reading levels and children’s interest so they can create lifelong habits of reading.

The stories reflect the many and varied identities and lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, including people living in urban, rural and remote Australia, giving children the opportunity to see their own experiences mirrored on the pages of the books, which are colourful, engaging learning resources.

Our Yarning is available on Library For All’s app, free to anyone on Android and iOS devices. As the collection grows, children will be able to access more and more titles. The free Our Yarning app will support existing programs across many sectors to deliver greater impact and can be used in all kinds of settings – starting with schools, community centres and at home.
