Challenges to collaboration: how vulnerable can I be to "not know" around colleagues? True collaboration is learning out loud. #50yearsofASLA Tracey Ezard

Great to see one of our ACT teacher librarians getting the national recognition that she deserves as National TL of the year. canberratimes.com.au/story/6039475/… #50yearsofASLA @hollygodfree

#cbca2019 Janine Crookes Nick Martin Tara Mitchell @beckgallaher Taryn Harris Johanna O'Brien Julianne Hay Roslyn Barlow @ New book encouraging stus to consider Aust before Europeans arrived. Perfect 'wondering' in PYP. Gives indigenous a voice. magabala.com/young-dark-emu…

Key takeaway from CBCA conference: representation is everything. Kids don't have the words to describe how they are feeling. They need books with characters experiencing the same things as them #cbca2019

#bookweek2019 ... another great celebration with Radford JS. Love the energy & enthusiasm of this community. A perfect way to celebrate books, alongside a fabulous library team!

Changes happening in the Junior School library at Radford. Looking forward to a fresh look in Term 4!

Holiday read #1: Remember Looking for Alibrandi? Author Mélina Marchetta has written a lovely, simple text for early readers after seeing her daughter struggle with reading. Love it when authors truly connect with their audience. And still got the Italian conne ton too!

Holiday read#2: Newton and Me. New picture book find which will work beautifully to support Year 2 & their unit on forces. Can’t wait to see where they take it 📖 📚 instagram.com/p/CCFndRhBkRl/…

Holiday read #3: great book, esp to demonstrate taking action. Very PYP appropriate & funny as well. Group of three kids who show that kids voices can make a difference. Great representation of characters too.… instagram.com/p/CCKqKSuhGP3/…

Holiday read #4: adult fiction this time. Gripping crime drama, told from 3 perspectives, about the perfect (in her father’s eyes) 18 year old daughter who is charged with murder. Loved it! instagram.com/p/CCb_Zv9hIYq/…

Holiday read #5: road tripping around Western NSW has given us plenty of car time for audio books. This one is a great one for upper primary students with aspirations to head to space. Set when Challenger space… instagram.com/p/CCiFUHABfq_/…

Another holiday read ... all 631 pages of it! Not one to read in bed at night. When you think your family is complicated, this one is worse! Fans of Maeve Binchy & Monica McInerney will love this insight into family… instagram.com/p/CCziwbrhcYd/…

Great article from an ACT colleague of mine, about what our job actually entails. Thanks #hollygodfree for your leadership & great article. medium.com/@snslcampaign/…

Cool few days at work ... hanging out with @oliverwinfree. Students have laughed so much & been so motivated to create characters that break rules & push boundaries. Very successful author visit! @RadfordJS #radpln Rachael Hind

Young people recommend books in different ways to how we recommend. Booktok is a thing! #booktokmademereadit. natedusummit

Having #pyp fun with Year 5 in How the World Works, exploring light & colour in illustrations. Exploring how James Foley considered using colours in the illustrations for My Dead Bunny. So interesting!

Time for Reading for Pleasure in winter holidays! Students have asked a significant adult to share a book with them. Thanks to @nat_amoore Zana Fraillon Remy Lai Matt Stanton Tim Winton & Kiah Thomas for writing quality novels.
