Happy New Year
I hope you have all had a good rest over the holidays and are going back to work refreshed and ready to go. For me holidays are never long enough and the idea of being ready to sit in a daily morning meeting when for the last month I was lounging around home is a challenge. BUT if I want to get paid, I must get with the programme! In many ways I am looking forward to heading back to the books, the kids and the daily routine, I hope you are too.
While we have been on holiday our darling Jeannie Skinner has been busy motivating us even while we rest. I just had a look at the National Library Services to Schools online communities and the Northland Networks page (* http://schools.natlib.govt.nz/community/groups/northland-networks) is filled with things to do and ponder. I guess most significant is the updated National Library page, don't be confused because it's not the same as it was. It looks easy to find things, but because it's different it may be a good idea to have a play before someone needs something yesterday!
The July conference in Wellington is shaping up well and I hope many from Northland will attend. There are plenty of scholarships available so if money is your only barrier, get packing!
I look forward to catching up with you all early this year. We need to have an AGM and plan some events for the year, start thinking about what you could benefit from most and let me know.
All the best for the coming year.
