  • Aotearoa NZ School Library Week Activity Guide 2024  
It's time to celebrate our school libraries again across the motu showcasing the difference a school library can make to every school community. 
Once again we have teamed up with award winning illustrator Paul Beavis to create resources to help you celebrate your school library. 
The SLANZA ASLW Ohu Mahi have put this year's activity guide together with you in mind. We are hopeful you can find inspiration here to create an atmosphere of excitement in your libraries this week. Some activities will need to be adapted to better suit the year level of your ākonga; we trust you know your community and what will work best for them.
