Award for Promotion of Literacy and Enjoyment of Reading

SLANZA awards recognise the contributions that our members make to the  school  library landscape in New Zealand.  At the AGM in July this year’s SLANZA awards were announced.  Otago Member Pam Garry was recognised  for the Promotion of  Literacy and the Enjoyment of Reading

Pam’s award was presented to her at the latest Otago meeting on the 22nd of August by President Bridget Schaumann. The meeting was held at John MacGlashan College

The meeting had a great turnout and local members who attended The SLANZA Conference reported back on their experiences and the workshops that they attended. Most of these presentations are available in full on the SLANZA website at :

Dates will be set for a social event before the end of Term 3 and members will be advised in due course.

Thanks to our hosts Pam and Linda for their hospitality.

Looking forward to seeing you all at our next gathering
