Thank you #wilddogbooks and #maryanneballantyne for continuing to champion #australianstories for our young people. #slavconnects

Lovely to meet up with professionals and colleagues old and new at the 2025 #slav conference #schoollibrariestransformreaders #slavconnects

#SLAVconnects 2024 Conference opened by Nina Taylor MP. A long list of literacy initiatives by the Vic. Education Dept. And no mention (colour me surprised) of the well-researched role that qualified library staff have in increasing and supporting literacy from birth to young adulthood & beyond.
