❤️ 👏children's book creators, Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler, creators of 'The Gruffalo', selling 13M copies. Here's their light-hearted support of everyone hunkered down under the coronavirus https://t.co/e7qNmWJHQU

This site has great ideas on developing a love of reading in children with some practical tips for including bilingual stories too. @RCN_AUS #ChildrensBooks #SwinLibStudents https://t.co/HhQlCwjuGw

@brad_chugg Wow! I hope the fines were waived 😀

@alyshatiarne1 Awesome🦕promotion! Love your puns😁

@Huyxdee These libraries are stunning! Imagine working in one of these “Palaces for the people”😊 I Love the idea of a secret doorway and slippery dip at the Woollahra Library.

@LibrarianMuscle Check out this community book exchange in Brunswick too, it has a really engaging presence in the Barkly Square shopping centre.

@sanbythesea Thanks San, this site looks very user-friendly, even for beginners who need help with the basics.

[Di White @DiWhite04]

@ashy_elizabeth_ Thanks for sharing Ashleigh, I’ll definitely test drive a few of these great resources for DIY reader recommendations!

[Di White @DiWhite04]

@brad_chugg This is such a positive move, fear of incurring fines discourages some people from borrowing while others are so embarrassed when they can’t afford their fines, they abandon the service.

@Huyxdee @TheDJCJ @daleyreads Me too 🙊

[Di White @DiWhite04]

A great resource from teacher librarian Megan Daley @daleyreads to help answer the persistent question of what to read after Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. #ReaderAdvice #SwinLibStudents

@ashy_elizabeth_ @daleyreads Thanks Ashleigh, I’ll add these to my list 😊

[Di White @DiWhite04]

@TheDJCJ I hadn't considered this either and, as pointed out in this IFLA interview with ALIA's CEO Sue McKerracher, many libraries which previously avoided purchasing picture books with inserts, may now add them to their acquisitions. https://t.co/lu7pACfQGT

[Di White @DiWhite04]

Jolly good to know if you're working with much loved children's picture book collections - industry agreement enables libraries to photocopy the removable inserts of children’s activity picture books. #SwinLibStudents

@TheDJCJ @daleyreads Thanks Calum :) I sometimes struggle with giving reader recommendations that are outside my own reading tastes so it's great to get input from 'experts'.

@yesmagazine Universal lessons to be learned from this library at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada which is trying to remove “Western colonial bias” in the way indigenous peoples’ knowledge and information is sorted, catalogued, and shared.
