Coordinating Students Need School Libraries 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.

Fantastic to hear Trish Hepworth from ALIA lead the charge on ABC Adelaide about #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries. The shock that Julian Schiller expresses about the decline in staffing just goes to show that Students Need School Libraries is still sorely needed. bit.ly/3rmkedB

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're going to use the Thank You card templates, from Students Need School Libraries #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

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

Our school library is a shared use facility with Libraries ACT. It's a wonderful win-win for the school and public library communities being in the same beautiful space. Fantastic practitioners working in both organisations. #ASLD2023 #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries Lori Korodaj

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

Three cheers for raffeduteach taking the baton as coordinator of this important campaign, Students Need School Libraries. 👏 👏👏 It's a great team with Hajnalka Molloy and Suzanne Livett. #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries

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?

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
