  • School libraries and librarians are part of this new education eco-system, preparing students for a vastly unpredictable and constantly changing world. MLLEs are where print and digital resources meet, as part of a smorgasbord of offerings curated to support, encourage, engage and make our students curious about their learning, and  foster and develop a childhood love of reading.
