Collected Magazine Submissions

It would be wonderful to have some Northland content in the Collected magazine. Please seriously consider contributing – we all gain so much from reading it and that only happens from other librarian’s contributions. This edition is about daily Library life - sharing strategies for supporting reading and library articles of general interest or advice to other librarians. Or it could be simply about something you have done that others may find of use or interest.

Welcome back to 2015. Collected is calling for submissions for our  next issue, #15. The theme is Reading/ Library Life and we would welcome any relevant articles.  

We also welcome reviews and any other articles on related matters. We would also encourage you to write about events of interest in your region. Don’t just assume that someone else will write it. You may also think it may hold little interest for others but our readership likes to hear what other regions do at meetings, PD sessions and social events.

The closing date for submissions is  Thursday the 2^nd of April  If you have any questions about articles please don’t hesitate to  drop me an e-mail at this address slanzacollected@gmail.com

Guidelines for submissions can be found on the SLANZA website ( slanza.org.nz ) under the Resources tab, under Collected

Looking forward to hearing from you all

End of Term

The wild winds are blowing outside and we await spring anxiously. Hopefully the weather for the holidays will give us opportunities to get back outside and enjoy the fresh air. Spare a thought for me as I head off to the public library system where the school holidays are the busiest days of the year.

A few reminders:

• Our Graphic Novel workshop is Saturday 9 November at Whangarei Library from 11.00am - 12noon. Try and encourage your school colleagues to come along with you.
• Collected should (I hope!) be out on Friday with plenty of conference reading. 
• The NE are meeting in early November, let me know if you have any concerns or questions.
• Welcome to our new members, we appreciate you joining our flock.
• Thank you to Jeannie. Those who attended her Northland Secondary School's Annual PD Day came away buzzing with useful new ideas.
• Join the National Library online communities and make some time every day for professional reading, free professional development.

I hope that you all get enough of a rest to tackle Term 4 with it's stocktake and end of year reporting.
