This made me go HA at the end. Let me tell you, little kids up and down the land will love this!

When you eat your only friend, and no one else wants to be your friend (for various reasons), will you ever find a new one?

I loved how minimal this is. It’s proper impactful!

@petermillett the children enjoyed your visit immensely! And you will be forever in their memory as Mr Toilet! Fav parts were your new name and the play

It's Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori this week. Did you know that we have te reo Māori ketes available for learning the language? They are free to borrow from Johnsonville, Karori, Kilbirnie, & Te Awe branches. Full details here: https://t.co/5zzT2x6p8h

In case you missed it over the weekend here’s my first children’s book news round up of the new school year. Free resources and events, recommended new books and much more. I hope that it’s useful.

VERY bad news. DECADES of research shows reading for pleasure is related to a child’s later economic success, not to mention their educational prospects, and emotional wellbeing

School and public libraries are an essential not a luxury.

@petermillett hey did you want a gf creamy penne with spinach and mushrooms for when you come to visit in a couple weeks?

[SJMB Library @LibrarySj]

@sylviabishop Thank you for your reply! Enjoy your weekend at the fringe festival!

[SJMB Library @LibrarySj]

@sylviabishop here is a letter I thought you might like and some questions from one of our students

[SJMB Library @LibrarySj]

@tepoumuramura thanks for our Author in schools! James Russell leaving a lasting impression sharing his life and books

[SJMB Library @LibrarySj]

@Jarrett_Lerner I know you do loads of activities, have you got some for these books too?

[SJMB Library @LibrarySj]

@Jarrett_Lerner Thank you, it's always good to know if you need to read them in order or not. Ordering some now for the new term 📚

[SJMB Library @LibrarySj]

@Jillymarsh3 Agreed! She was so amazing with the children

[SJMB Library @LibrarySj]

She was MOBBED by the children at the end of her time with us. If you are in Auckland, get author Anne Kayes in for a visit with your primary seniors. You won't regret it.

Finding the right words to describe the book so you have half the class lining up to read it

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

What has the biggest impact on children's life chances? It's not test scores or socio-economic background. It's READING FOR PLEASURE! So never stop sharing books with kids, and helping them to read. It will change their lives. #literacy
