[Karen Malbon @KMalbon]

@_Sam_Wasson_ @eduwebinar Thanks for sharing your practices and ideas. They align with mine and I will be tweaking a few things in my library as a result of your presentation.

[ASLA @aslanational]

Today is Australian School Library Day - a chance to celebrate and highlight the glorious variety of things your school library staff do for students, staff and their school communities.

Our libraries have evolved a lot over the years, but what has remained the same is their importance to our Grammarians' learning.

Fun fact! Merton Hall once had two libraries, one under the chapel & in the old science building. Now it's just one - the Nina Crone Library.

One of the first to hear the announcement of the #2023StellaPrize @wheelercentre 📚

@DebHoggoz @kelmarx83 Part of the work we have always done that is not visible to the wider population

[Karen Malbon @KMalbon]

This one of the many reasons we need qualified staff in school libraries https://t.co/usLZoe1Tni #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries @SLAVConnects

From one librarian (who works at MGGS) to another, happy birthday Mary!

[Melbourne Girls Grammar @MGGS_SouthYarra]

Today's Google Doodle celebrates the birthday of Old Grammarian, botanist & librarian Mary Ellinor Lucy Archer MBE (1912).

After leaving MGGS, Mary became the first female scientist at the Australian CSIRO & was considered one of the most significant specialty librarians.

Last night, we celebrated our long love of storytelling and critical thinking with the second annual @MelbWritersFest x MGGS event.

It was terrific to have Noongar author @clairegcoleman as our guest to discuss her latest novel, 'Enclave'.

[Melbourne Girls Grammar @MGGS_SouthYarra]

Our ELC4 and Year 12 students shared a special (and cute) reading session this week with Teacher Librarian Mr Jones. 📘📚

With our youngest and oldest Grammarians together in the library, Mr Jones read Dr Seuss's 'Oh, the Places You'll Go!' And 'Eat Your Peas' by Kes Gray.

[Karen Malbon @KMalbon]

So impressed with the grammarians who shared their reflections of Claire G. Coleman’s novel Enclave and interviewed her like seasoned professionals. Claire generously shared her personal story and what motivates her to write @MGGS_SouthYarra #MWF22

[Karen Malbon @KMalbon]

Reading this on my final day of holidays and considering the potential for some action research
