'Libraries, Literacy and You'
ReaLM presented our fourth annual professional development day at the Massey University Sport and Rugby Institute, Palmerston North in June 2013.
Over fifty school and public librarians specialising in children and young adult's libraries attended from all over the central and lower North Island.
The following sessions were presented on the day:
Robert Baigent – AnyQuestions - we've got the answers!
Maria Gill - Non-Fiction books now and in the future
Jan Watts – Digital Curation Tools
John and Ruth McIntyre - 20 years of the Children’s Bookshop
Fifi Colston - A session to WOW you
Jennie Hogan & Sue Fargher – Public library and School Collaborations
‘KidsLit Quiz for Big Kids’ at Massey University Sport and Rugby Institute
After the success of the evening event in 2012, we invited the 'quizmaster' himself - Wayne Mills - to join us in running this event to see if teams of local teachers, librarians and parent knew their stuff about children's literature.
Literacy Tour of Manawatu Schools
We ran this event for the third year to promote reading and literacy by bringing authors and literacy experts from around the country into Manawatu schools.
We were able to offer 15 local schools the following literacy professionals to work with students:
Maria Gill - author of children's non-fiction
Diana Neild - author of children's picture books (Piggity-Wiggity Jiggity Jig series)
Bob Docherty - literature consultant
Fifi Colston - author, illustrator and crafter
Martin Baynton - author, illustrated and screen writer
