@southwellibrary @LMS_United Thank you so much. Wouldn't that be amazing!?!

⁦@MadisonsLibrary⁩ ⁦@LMS_United⁩ loved this conversation! Madison - come to slanza in chch in September!! Actually - Amy…. Come too!! podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/sch…

TY @MadisonsLibrary! Providing #PD makes #librarians a vital part of our school (and professional) community. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Special offers from @CapstonePub and @literati apple.co/48ur8xt

How do you empty and move an entire Library in two hours? Because you have to and you have the most incredible Library Team. Superpower on full show as we moved literal mountains (of books, shelves and resources) today. #SchoolLibraries #SchoolLibraryTeams #MovingALibrary

@LMS_United Love this! Such an important skill that so many meeting and PD leaders seem to skip over. Recognising the emotions is key. Love that we think alike!

Hey ⁦@MadisonsLibrary⁩! Proof we had the same thought during our recording! In order for our #PD to be effective, #librarians must be able to read the room! Tune in Fri Feb 23 for E261!

@LMS_United Always love chatting to the incredible Amy Hermon @LMS_United, especially about one of my favourite topics - professional development.

Can't wait to share this conversation with #librarian @MadisonsLibrary all about #PD! A #bookclub stretching from 🇺🇸 to 🇦🇺! Tune in Fri Feb 23 for #episode 261!

Do you love weeding or loathe it? I’m strong in the love camp. Either way, it’s a vital task. Here’s how I like to approach weeding my school library collection. madisonslibrary.com/2024/02/12/the… #SchoolLibraries #CollectionDevelopment

@juliekidsbooks @LizDerouet Sad, but very true. Have to keep fighting for school libraries and school library staff.

@MadisonsLibrary @LizDerouet And many schools don't have school library staff. Some schools don't even have a library.

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 education.gov.au/schooling/reso…

@DrTLovesBooks Can I DM you for an invite code?

We're at 132 #SchoolLibrarians who've made the jump to greener pastures (or, I guess, bluer... sky-pastures?) this week, and I'm finally getting close to having the "Things you might want to know" message close to right... 😂

@DianaLRendina I think all library awards should be open to self nomination because so often our leaders or colleagues are not aware of the awards or what it would mean to our practice to be recognised. That said, as a massive fan of your work, I’d love to nominate you, if you are open to that?

@scharle4 Bit of both. Some big bins of a mix of everything and smaller trays sorted by colour. Saves time not having to do it all and having some by colour helps students to put their deconstructed creations back by colour.

“Readers aged 13 to 15 are left in a book wasteland”. Fantastic article and great points by @TLT16 on the changes and trends in MG and YA publishing and its impact on reading and libraries. teenlibrariantoolbox.com/2023/10/18/a-t… #SchoolLibraries #Publishing

My favorite reminder this afternoon from @kelseybogan #AASL23
