Network Meetings and a SLANZA Planning Session

Hi,

Welcome back to the school year and welcome to new school library staff.
Our National Library adviser Jeannie Skinner has been busy organizing network meetings with interesting and useful topics to consider and learn about. I always find these meetings well worth the time and as well as having up to date knowledge I enjoy seeing recommended new books and catching up with my 'flock' (you guys who do the same stuff as me!)

All the date and details are available at Northland Networks on the National Library site . If you haven't joined the online community now is your chance, it's free and easy and will keep you up to date on school library information relating to Northland.

After the Whangarei Secondary meeting I am hoping those interested will stay for a little while and help plan how SLANZA Te Tai Tokerau can support school libraries this year. We would like to plan one event for each term that are interesting, relevant and you will come along and support. If you have ideas but are unable to attend the Whangarei meeting please contact me, details below.

I will be attending the National Executive are meeting the first weekend of March and I can raise any concerns, suggestions or ideas that come out of the meeting (or you can contact me directly).
