We will have two special guests at the meeting, Geraldine Howell and Elizabeth Jones. Geraldine is the Director Literacy and Public Programmes for the National Library http://ow.ly/IiQ5j and Elizabeth is National Manager, Learning Futures and Development. We are very fortunate that Geraldine and Elizabeth are willing to talk with our membership, answer questions and hear our concerns.

There are various initiatives from many branches of the education sector such as NZEI, New Zealand Principals Federation, LIANZA and many others who are working to make their concerns heard about this decision from the National Library but please do talk to your Principal and teaching staff about this so you can bring questions and concerns of their behalf.

Paper Plus Merivale Buying Evening

29/8/2014

In May our members were treated to the Paper Plus buying evening – a bookshop all to ourselves after hours and 25% off purchases that night – what more could we want! We heard from a variety of publishers who gave us a sneak peek at titles coming up soon and shared and chatted about the books that are flying off our library shelves and would recommend to others. Many thanks to Simon and his team from Merivale Paper Plus for hosting is great evening.

SLANZA Merit Award for Annette McKitrick

7/8/2014

Posted by Mandy Ditzel, Librarian, Garin College
I am delighted that Annette McKitrick of Waimea Intermediate has been awarded The SLANZA Award for Promotion of Literacy and Enjoyment of Reading.

Annette’s school nominated her, and I was honoured to be able to second the nomination. With the help of the SLANZA National Exec, we were able to keep this a secret from Annette until Waimea Intermediate presented her with her framed certificate & some flowers at their school assembly in the first week of Term 3. Annette was called onto the stage on a pretence, so she was a bit shocked to hear the real reason! I was touched to see that the entire student body rose to their feet for a spontaneous standing ovation.

Congratulations Annette – a most deserving recipient!

Aoraki Annual General Meeting

21/7/2014

Thank you to everyone who joined us on July 2nd for the Aoraki Annual General Meeting. We were joined by three speakers for the evening: Heather Orman, Zac Harding and Louise Crisp. Heather shared her love of picture books and in particular, beautifully illustrated fairytales. Zac shared his experiences as a judge for the New Zealand Post Children's Book Awards and Louise from Random House, told us about some up-coming reads too good to miss!

Saskia Hill was voted in to continue as the Aoraki Chairperson, assisted by Liz Jones as Secretary, Dayle Campbell as Treasurer and Cathy Kennedy as representative to the SLANZA National Executive.
