Aotearoa School Library Week Resources 2025

Activity Guide & Resources

WELCOME TO 2025 AOTEAROA SCHOOL LIBRARY WEEK! 

​We are excited to celebrate library joy across the motu again in 2025.
​The last year has been a minefield of structured literacy and draft English curricula, so it’s time to bring the focus back to School
Libraries and how they transform the lives of our ākonga. With the Aotearoa School Libraries Research foremost in our minds, how can what we see everyday in our kura translate to what the rest of the school staff see.
We are excited to bring you another StoryWalk® from Scholastic NZ, this time with the generosity of Annelies Judson and Nikki Slade Robinson. 

​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 levels of your ākonga; we trust you know your communtiy and what will work best for them.
We encourage you to share photos of your activities and events online, using the #ASLW25 hashtag, so that as a community, we can all whakanui together. We know that School Libraries Transform our students in so many ways.
​
Let this week be the celebration of all the mahi your library does.
