Even the books are wearing masks and observing social distancing in the Heaton Learning Resource Centre this week...

I'm predicting a comeback of the crinoline dress...

[Jane Oakden Boniface @JaneOakden]

@LMS_United @HermonAmy I'm very much looking forward to that. I get so much out of your podcasts School Librarians United @LMS_United

[Jane Oakden Boniface @JaneOakden]

Amy Hermon identifies what school librarians's needs are, and then shares with us the perfect tech tool or app to suit the task. Thank you @HermonAmy !

[School Librarians United @LMS_United]

I am excited to be sharing today. Here's my #MACUL20 presentation (and sneak preview to episode 65!) https://t.co/SQtGGJySoL #tlchat #librarylife #librarytwitter

I taught a digital citizenship session, issued a bunch of new graphic novels to reluctant readers, selected books for a student who is in hospital, & curated a "pop-up" collection of resources on topics currently being studied by students #Iamnotakindle

[Jane Oakden Boniface @JaneOakden]

@andrew_hoggard suggests that instead of school libraries it would be cheaper to just buy every student a kindle. Any school librarians out there care to share 1 thing they did today that a kindle can not? #Iamnotakindle @Schoollibsnz @NeedSchoolLibs @LMS_United @CILIPSLG

I've just discovered the School Librarians United podcast! TY @HermonAmy for providing me with a multitude of informative and inspiring podcasts to listen to while I'm walking my dogs these summer holidays. Exercise, PD & inspiration all in one! https://t.co/jNJzkuEQ0k

@julia_vegan I've done the same thing post #slanza17 with an "s" shape with my 3 mobile shelving units. Does look better!

[Jane Oakden Boniface @JaneOakden]

@julia_vegan has gone Dewey-lite for a student centered collection. No more decimals means easy to browse, easy to search. #slanza17

[Jane Oakden Boniface @JaneOakden]

A book that will change your life: "Tell me: Children, reading & talk" by Aidan Chambers, thanks @MSimmsNZ #slanza17

@Edna331 Ah! Numerous use of F word & sex refnces - all before end of chap 1. Also drinking & fighting. Kids are 17 - 18? Be OK for HSchl.

[Jane Oakden Boniface @JaneOakden]

@Edna331 Sorry Desna, just spotted your msg now! But not sure which book we are talking about -hard to see a conversation thread on Twitter!

[Jane Oakden Boniface @JaneOakden]

@ForrestC8 Absolutely! Great to sell to reluctant boys - I say disgusting, grisly scenes & it gave me nightmares. They lap it up #libchatNZ

[Jane Oakden Boniface @JaneOakden]

@StephEllisNZ @ForrestC8 @hrhplop "The Squad" series by Tom Palmer grt mystery/action, with some football tossed in, #libchatNZ
