Just a reminder about the SLANZA meeting this Thursday afternoon - 17th November, after school at Whangarei Boys' High School Library with Dr Hilary Greenebaum - see post below . The Wednesday meeting at Taipa Area School will not be going ahead this term - we are looking to offer this workshop in the Far North in 2012.
Hilary is coming up from Auckland for the meeting. I have heard her and think she has important messages about effective library management, development and communication, and her workshop at the SLANZA Conference was very well received.
I hope we can develop the culture in the North of making the most of library professional development opportunities as part of our performance planning / review / appraisal process - library staff and TLRs need to request it and do it when opportunities arise, Principals need to expect it of their staff and support it… and the organisers need participants in order to keep on creating events!
Professional development adds to your kete of knowledge, sparks new ideas, confirms existing practice, challenges you to raise your game, provides opportunities to network with others and to contribute your point of view and expertise to the school library community of which you are an important member…
Come and share some afternoon tea, hear a warm and engaging speaker, think about your library and strategies to make it more effective, and flock together with your library colleagues...
