The wonderful Libby Hathorn @Poetrywizard had us all writing poetry this morning and what a lot of clever kids we had. Our final Family Fun Day for 2019 with @KateJolTemple will be 25 Nov sl.nsw.gov.au/events/family-… #sydneykids #familyfun #tlchat #kidsactivities

@PaulKiem Glad you liked it Paul. So much potential for students and teachers.

@SLNSW_Learning wonderful exhibition

@BillCohenAU @statelibrarynsw Thanks for your feedback, we think that's a great idea. How about #SLNSWLearning?

@SLNSW_Learning @statelibrarynsw This is understandable but a little saddening. The @SLNSW_Learning account allowed educators to receive valuable info without wading through a barrage of unrelated posts. It’ll be a little harder moving forward. Can we have a SLNSW Learning hashtag?

You may have noticed that we've been a little quiet on Instagram and Twitter lately. We've decided to move over to the State Library social media channels, which means our old accounts will become inactive. We hope you will join the conversation @statelibrarynsw and keep in touch
