SLANZA Awards

SLANZA has launched a series of awards for its members to:-

  • encourage innovation and excellence in school libraries
  • share the successes in our school library community

    There is also the Certificate of Recognition which recognises significant or special services to SLANZA or outstanding contributions to school librarainship or school libraries in New Zealand.
