This program is an initiative of the State Library of Western Australia (SLWA) supported by the Department for Regional Development and Lands, Rio Tinto and Royalties for Regions. The program aims to assist in the facilitation of local Aboriginal community councils to empower local Aboriginal people to form a network of distributors who may work in schools, health centres or other services in communities. In this way the community has responsibility for the delivery of the program, which is a central tenant of the Better Beginnings initiative for supporting the development of children's literacy learning in remote communities. The resources which are specifically designed and chosen to reflect Aboriginal history, culture and everyday life come in the form of quality books, stories and rhymes, DVDs and posters. The program aims to stimulate children, family and carers' literacy practices in a fun, easy, relevant and meaningful way and compensate for a lack of reading material in remote communities. Resources include T-shirts for children, alphabet and number posters, an Aboriginal newspaper for adults and a pamphlet on the importance of reading to children. The program also aims to get more children and families to use their local library. Two sites were selected to evaluate the Better Beginnings for remote Aboriginal communities. One site (Site 1) is a new site for the program and the research team accompanied the State Library team on implementation in March 2012 and later on their own in October of the same year. The second site (Site 2) had the program implemented in 2010 and received one visit from the research team in October 2012. (author abstract)
