Library Educators Needed !!
To do well at school, every student needs a library
SLANZA
The School Library Association of New Zealand Te Puna Whare Mātauranga a Kura (SLANZA) aims to strengthen and promote the role of school libraries, to enable all school communities to become information literate and enjoy reading for pleasure.
Conferences
Every two years SLANZA has a national conference. These are great opportunities to met new people and update your library skills.
Term Events
Every term your region meets to discuss what is happening in the library world. You can also post questions on the school librarians' listserv which helps you to keep in contact with others in NZ and Australia.
