Not sure how many of you are
aware of the recent announcement by National Library and the subsequent
discussion on the Listserv. You are welcome to discuss this matter with me,
however it is preferable to contact National Library directly through the email
set up to receive responses.
This would be a good
opportunity for us to get together early next year and discuss the implications
and gather suggestions on how SLANZA can further support school libraries.
A letter and flier was sent out from National Library to all Principals late Wednesday afternoon. If you have not seen this correspondence, email me and I will send them through. Below are both National
Library’s press release as well as the SLANZA National Executive’s response.
This afternoon the National Library sent a letter to all school
principals with an attached flier for school staff. This outlined future
service directions, and changes to the current Curriculum Service in mid- 2015.
Information is also available on the Services to
Schools website. As indicated in these communications we have established
an email for any queries. Please contact us at s2stransformation@dia.govt.nz
We have also met with the National Executive of SLANZA regarding
our new service directions. We will work closely with SLANZA to support school
libraries through these changes.

National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Matauranga O Aotearoa
SLANZA has met with the National Library Services to Schools.
While there will be changes in their delivery of services to schools,
some of which will take some time to get used to, we’re confident that National
Library will still provide resources and advice that will be useful to schools
and school librarians. The National Library are setting up an email
address to use if you have any questions, and SLANZA are also looking at ways
to support school library staff with the new resources we are working to
develop in our Communities site.
Yours,
Bridget Schaumann
SLANZA President
