Tour of Auckland school libraries : SLANZA Waikato

Hello Northland school librarians

Would you be interested in visiting some Auckland school libraries in Term 4?

The Waikato SLANZA / NLNZ Annual School Library Tour this year is in Auckland, and there are two dates :

Auckland Secondary school libraries tour: Friday, 8th November, 10:00am-3pm:

• Morning tea and visit to BLENZ (Blind and Low Vision Education Network New Zealand)
• Sir Edmund Hillary Collegiate
• Botany Downs Public Library (lunch at The Botany Downs Town Centre)
• Ormiston Senior College
• Papakura High School.

Auckland Primary school libraries tour: Friday, 15th November, 10:00am-3pm:

• Morning tea and visit to Services to Schools, National Library of New Zealand, Parnell
• St Helier’s Primary School
• Elm Park School (Pakuranga)
• Botany Downs Public Library (lunch at The Botany Downs Town Centre)
• Elim Christian College (Junior Campus)
• Redoubt North School (Manukau).

The tours are jointly organised between SLANZA Waikato Bay of Plenty and the National Library advisers.  They are valuable not only for those of you who are thinking of remodelling or building new libraries, but also just for getting new ideas for your library environment – also a good chance to catch up with people working in other school libraries...

How about car-pooling with some other Northland colleagues, or maybe heading down to Auckland early on Friday and making a weekend of it?

Everyone is welcome – to come on either, or both tours, and on both days you will have an opportunity to visit Botany Downs Public Library in the Botany Downs Town Centre, where you will be able to purchase lunch (your own cost).

A detailed schedule for the whole day will be forwarded to all registrants.
Transport is your own responsibility.
Cost: $5 per person.
