Like many major events, NAIDOC Week looks rather different in 2020. Usually held in July, the national celebration of the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples was postponed in the hope that the many in-person gatherings and events would be able to go ahead later in the year. Instead, NAIDOC Week has largely moved online, and many NSLA libraries are joining in, streaming and recording events to celebrate this year's theme: Always Was, Always Will Be.
