National Library Changes - School Letter of Support

SLANZA member Garth Rodda from Whangarei Intermediate is so appalled at National Library's changes to  their Services to Schools programme, that he has reworked SLANZA president Bridgette Schaumann's original letter to National Library to make it a more school-specific letter. All staff at his school have signed the letter and he has forwarded it on to his local Member of Parliament.

Garth has shared the letter so that we may all use this as a template to gather support and signatures against these short-sighted and wasteful changes. Thank you for this initiative Garth. 

Please discuss these changes and how it will impact on them with your school teaching staff. And if you use Garth's letter to gather signatures for your MP, please send a quick acknowledgement to Garth as well.

If your region is currently without an MP feel free to forward it to Whangarei's Member of Parliament, Shane Reti.

Don't forget your SLANZA meetings are an opportunity to discuss these issues, voice your concerns, as well as looking at strategies to cope with these changes. RSVP to me. Thanks.
