Abstract	On 1 January 2012, early-childhood and out-of-school-hours care services were mandated to begin working under a new framework, designed to deliver greater consistency in service provision across the sector. With the aim of raising quality and driving continuous improvement through consistency among services and service ratings, the National Quality Framework has been viewed by some as a long-awaited opportunity to affect long-lasting change in service provision, service delivery and outcomes for children. In this paper, the author seeks to outline what happens when this concept is extended beyond the early-childhood/out-of-school-hours care sector, and into the community sector, with a focus on public and academic libraries, and the role that these library services play in impacting upon outcomes for children and the services which they attend. With an optimistic vision of a utopian world where all sectors involved in caring for and providing services for children--education, community and beyond--work in a cohesive way to improve outcomes and to share understandings, the author strives to convey to you her role in being the change she wishes to see in the world.
