About Lisa Salter
I work at Ruawai College and Community Library in Northland. I
passionately believe that we are living up to our vision of Personal
Growth (Ka Tipu Te Ira Tangata) and Quality Work (Ia Kounga Nga Mahi)
and strive to provide library services that exceed expectations.
As a beginner blogger and tweeter I am endeavoring to learn and share
all that comes with the digital age we live in. I love teen
fiction
and there is nothing more satisfying than to turn a student on to the
love of reading and sharing good books.

Coming up in Term 3...
SLANZA Te Tai Tokerau will be hosting teen fiction enthusiast Bob
Docherty in Northland in week 7 of Term 3 - two meetings scheduled
(after school - 3.45pm for afternoon tea, 4-5pm for Bob and his
booktalking extravaganza):
- Wednesday 14th September, at Kerikeri High School Library and
- Thursday 15th September, at Whangarei Girls' High School Library
Here is a link to Bob's blog bobsbooksnz.wordpress.com
but
reading the reviews is no substitute I've been told to meeting Bob in
person and being engaged by his passion for teen fiction. This session
would be great for teachers of children in upper primary (Year 5/6),
intermediate and secondary schools - how often do they get PD on what
is new, great, classic, popular, award-winning, controversial... in the
teen fiction scene ?
Wayne Mills said that teachers who don't read children's/YA literature
should be sacked! Fighting talk, but how can you possibly promote the
books and reading if you don't read it and know about it yourself ?
Please share this opportunity for enjoyable, relevant, free PD with
others in your school.
More information to come early next term, meanwhile put this date in
your diary, gather a carpool, and plan to come to these hospitable
school libraries for a book-y afternoon...
