School Librarians of Aotearoa - interview with Julia Smith

I was honoured to be interviewed for 'School Librarians of Aotearoa' column in the The Sapling, a New Zealand website dedicated to children’s literature. 

The interview, where I was sent questions to answer on my role, philosophy, library organisation and other things, went live today. If you are interested in reading it you can find it here

Congratulations to Julia Smith from Kerikeri High School Library, on her SLANZA Award of Merit for Literacy and Enjoyment of reading, presented at the SLANZA Conference by the SLANZA President, Senga White and pictured here with the Conference Co-convenor and incoming SLANZA President, Fiona Mackie.
