Hey school librarians!!! Enjoying your cold/snow day?!?! ❄️☃️How about sharing a voice recording for an upcoming episode "Hills I'll Die On" 🎧🎙️💡 bit.ly/3TI7aeN

Spent the last two days rearranging the Library space. So happy with the end result. Feels so much better, more open, actually has a useable teaching area, makes use of the flow and connection to other areas. So grateful to everyone who helped, especially @timodesignspace.bsky.social #SchoolLibrary

A treasure trove of reading and writing for pleasure research from Open University ourfp.org/publications/ #SchoolLibraries #ReadingCulture

After a wonderful break of switching off from social media (mostly) and trying not to think about work (sort of) I have been diving into Dr Merga’s new book Creating A Reading Culture. How will you be supporting reading and reading culture this year? #ReadingCultures #SchoolLibraries

Calling all school librarians! Start 2024 with some fun and call in your response. bit.ly/JanFebcallin

Today’s book haul. A nice chunk of next year’s budget spent, but couldn’t resist these beautiful books. Some are in response to student requests, others for curriculum, some fill collection gaps and some were just too beautiful not to have. #NewBooks #SchoolLibraries

I’ve been shopping!! Devoted the morning to some serious book shopping for the school library. Mainly purchased non-fiction and graphic novels. Got some seriously beautiful books, which I can’t wait to share with you and our students. #SchoolLibraries #NewBooks #BookShopping #NonFiction

Reading through the Australian Government’s Framework for Generative AI in Schools. Some positive directions here. The question I see schools asking is, who will ensure this is done? The answer? School library staff. #SchoolLibraries #AI #DigitalLiteracy www.education.gov.au/schooling/re...

Every year I put together an annual report with stats, data, photos, and events from the year. This year, some of those highlights are amazing. So proud and grateful to the team I get to work with, who do so many amazing things to make this possible. #SchoolLibraries #AnnualReport #Advocacy
