High school students need time and space to read for pleasure. “If we don’t encourage and create spaces for students to choose their own books … how can we expect them to read books that are more challenging?” https://t.co/KDVKKKaAhh

Got this fantastic piece of feedback from a student in our Year 11 Library survey today:
"Librarians are always awesome, but you guys always go the extra mile to make sure the library remains a comfortable, quiet and helpful place for everyone" 😭😍🥰

Was great to meet with visiting academic @TessRyan1 this week to talk about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation in our collection. Below are some of the new titles that will be arriving soon!
Massive thanks to Tess for sharing her time and knowledge👏

This is such a fun idea! Definitely keen to do something similar in our Library!

[Blake Hopper @thelitprincipal]

I’d say it was a great first day back. We already checked out 101 books!

@knoxdiver Ham used as a book mark 🤢 also a plastic grasshopper container from a previous year's school leavers' prank!

ABC to abolish 58 librarian and archivist jobs with journalists to do archival work https://t.co/wZml4pDCcH

Brilliant outcome 🎉🎉

The effort to ban books in schools and libraries has made headlines, resulting in a big boost in sales of the most contentious titles. https://t.co/ZtunCiri98

@MadisonsLibrary I'd love to redesign the physical space! At the moment it has a very formal "study hall" kind of feel, but I would love to change it up with new shelving and a variety of different work spaces

The federal election is fast approaching, so it's time to #VoteLibrary!

We've prepared a template letter for you to send to the candidates in your electorate. You can adjust it so it reflects the issues that you are passionate about.

@AlyssiaReads Hi Alyssia - I'm a school librarian from South Australia. We use purchase date rather than publication date and also the usage data (# of loans and date last loaned) to make sure we aren't getting rid of anything that is still used. Then we review each book on the list 😊

Just another awesome idea to implement from @lucasjmaxwell #SchoolLibraries

[Emma Hamilton @EmmaHamiltonLib]

Just a stack of #TikTokMadeMeBuyIt titles to promote to the Year 11s for holiday reading 📚
So many of the titles were already on loan! 🎉

Footage claiming to document the situation in Ukraine may not necessarily be genuine.

Here’s how to treat viral footage with the right level of scepticism before sharing it on social media, according to @QUT's @Cenevox, @antmandan + @DrPaulaDootson.
