We'll be talking about free and open textbooks, research, heritage and culture, with a range of special guests.  The event will be held at Sky City after the Nethui conference. Please feel free to spread the word to anyone who might be interested. You don't need to attend the Nethui conference (though you should feel free to do that, too!)

Sally Pewhairangi's presentation to the 2013 North Island Children's and Teens' Librarians' Conference in Rotorua.  Looks at the challenges to traditional forms of professional development for library staff and explores new ways of undertaking PD, including the use of Twitter.  Includes a list of 10 recommended people to follow on Twitter with a relevance to YA and Children's librarians.

Findings of a British study that resonate strongly with Dr Cathy Wylie's keynote speech at the 2013 conference. Interesting to note the link between reading for pleasure and achievement in mathematics.
