We are delighted to invite members and interested parties to submit workshop proposals as professional development opportunities to build knowledge and skills of school library staff.
​
We have the following formats to choose from:
  • 50-minute workshop including Q&A 
  • 15-minute talk - these will be grouped together with other talks in themes 
  • ​5-minute Slide Showcase – an opportunity to share something that works well for you in your library 
Submissions close on 31st July, so you have the holidays to think about what you want to share with your library community. 

We need your help! We'd love your suggestions for workshop topics, who we should be shoulder tapping etc.
  • Who do you want to hear from?
  • What topics should we be looking to cover?
  • Do you know a fellow librarian who is doing great stuff that we could encourage to share their insights/knowledge with others?
