It feels hard at the moment to sit and write about what I have been up to, read or reflected on.
It is an interesting time for me as I work out of a temporary library office as the library itself undergoes some building works for the rest of the term.
But the show goes on. We may not be able to lend books, but we can extend the loans or encourage students to borrow eBooks.
We have been processing new books which will head straight to our new books shelves when we reopen.
Also, I thought I'd share an article from The Sunday Telegraph (p. 19, 14 August 2022) with Dr Helen Adam from Edith Cowan University mentioning that there is ""really strong evidence" that schools with well-resourced libraries and a qualified teacher librarian got better NAPLAN and other test results". This was in response to research by Consumer Data Company Fonto revealing that 68% of parents think that their children read at least as much if not more than when they were youngsters.
