Thanks Aussie School Library Lovers, for a great Twitter Storm (X Storm??)...For a great showing of solidarity and celebration of #ASLD2023. Can't wait for #ASLD2024! #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries

📚 School libraries are the heart of education! They inspire young minds, foster a love for reading, and provide invaluable resources for learning. Let's celebrate their role in shaping future leaders and lifelong learners. 🌟🏫 #ASLD2023 #SchoolLibrariesMatter @NeedSchoolLibs

Agreed! Must find out more....

From TAS The library has influenced me to read more books. My favourite books are Captain Underpants and Harry Potter. #ASLD2023 #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries

From QLD The events and books in the library have helped me learn so much. I love the way it has helped contribute to my life. #ASLD2023 #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries

From ACT When I came to this school the teachers were sweet but my favourite one was the library teacher because when I needed a book I would ask her & she would always tell me about other books I might like. I read 8 books that year. Now I read books every day.😁😄📚 #ASLD2023

From WA I love the library and staff because they are so nice and kind to me. I really don't want it to end at all because I feel like people need libraries to fill their imagination and staff for education and help when they need it most. #ASLD2023 #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries

From NSW I love the library. I get to work in there and it's a fun job to do. I've made friends and learnt to have fun but work hard at the same time. It's also a good new experience and honour to be a library monitor. The library teacher, Mrs Williams, is the best! #ASLD2023

Today for #ASLD2023 I read a gorgeous #picbookbc to our ELC students who came up to the main library during their lunch break. So wonderful to meet the future primary students & share our library books & spaces with our youngest students. #studentsneedschoollibraries

According to my 14 yr old, School Libraries Slay AND we get *clicks*! 🫰🫰 #ASLD2023 #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries
