International School Library Day, this year, is Monday October 28 and the theme is
021.7 Library<BR>
Matters.<BR>
<BR>
In a time of great threat to the librarian's position in a school, particularly in
the primary<BR>
sector, it is an ideal time for us to examine what it is that we do so well to
contribute to our<BR>
students' education. This year, participants in ISLD will be asked to share a
service or an activity<BR>
that they have offered that it a little out of the ordinary but which has had an
impact.<BR>
<BR>
For instance, at Palmerston I have introduced a Browse and Brunch session at the
beginning of each<BR>
academic year so that teachers may discuss their plans for the term, browse the
shelves, select<BR>
resources and socialise over a buffet lunch. They also receive a Love your Library
pack which has<BR>
all sorts of information about our services, suggestions for read-alouds; bookmark
BLMs;<BR>
personalised bookmarks, freebies I have received over the year -anything at all I
can find that is<BR>
relevant, and of course some goodies including chocolate frogs!<BR>
<BR>
By sharing these sorts of ideas, and perhaps adopting one or two, we can continue
to enhance the<BR>
profile of the library and its contribution to curriculum delivery.<BR>
<BR>
Growing the Future will also be highlighted as we continue to encourage our
students to plant hope<BR>
and grow peace. As well as planting some more seeds in our special gardens, we will
also be starting<BR>
a register of online projects such as Karen Eini's Friends and Flags <a
href="http://www.friendsandflags.org)">http://www.friendsandflags.org)</a><BR>
that encourage students from schools around the world to participate in sharing
their culture.<BR>
