Teaching used to be a life-long career for most. But new research shows public school teachers earn less than comparable professions, and the gap widens with age. To support teachers and retain knowledge & experience we must fully fund public schools. #auspol

This article brings home the fact that the library is not just a place of learning and literacy, but a 'third space' of wellbeing. I challenge school leaders who say "we can't afford a library/teacher librarian/qualified library staff": How can you afford NOT to have this?

🙌 How many parents or teachers realise just how ruthlessly the library profession has been gutted? School leaders & policy makers wring their hands over falling literacy while they defund & deskill the school library - the ♥️ of literacy in the school #libraries #literacy

I'm thinking of countless authors (the thinking and poetic voices of our times) who talk about the importance of their school library as a place of learning, calm, refuge, acceptance, nurturing...all the things needed to become who they did. #ASLD2023 #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries

BREAKING! Teacher librarians might (finally) start being counted by @ABSStats in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO). Solid Data will help get qualified staff in ALL school libraries. Thank you @ALIANational! bit.ly/47tFAGw

We're going to use the Thank You card templates, from @NeedSchoolLibs #ASLD website page, for staff and students to fill out and make a display. We'll ask them to focus on the 'hidden' work library staff do that's helped them. #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries run by qualified staff

Rest easy, #StudentsNeedSchoolLibaries supporters. There is hope on the horizon with this (see RT⬇️). Just give our leadership team a few weeks to get our ducks in a row. 🦆🦆🦆🦆 (Yes, that's right. 'Literal' emoji use just happened).

We have yet not received any EOI's to coordinate our #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries campaign. Perhaps you are tempted but feeling shy? Truly, it's not as hard as you might think; the main requirement is a bit of drive. COB Thursday is new deadline. Take the leap!

Coordinating @NeedSchoolLibs has been an equal mix of exhilirating/challenging/rewarding (with a sprinkling of Grunt Work). In short: Exactly the kind of thing that would appeal to many school library people! Please feel free to reach out if you want to chat about it.
Students Need School Libraries@NeedSchoolLibs

Can't wait to see the ideas from our next Students Need School Libraries campaign coordinator - Is it YOU? Deadline for EOI is 5 July. More info⬇️ studentsneedschoollibraries.org.au/eoi-snsl-campa…
