Incredible presentation from Karen Eyre on how she advocates for her school library and position through the programming, events, marketing and connections she builds.
An inspiring session with lots of practical ideas and encouragement.

Andy Griffiths kicking off the @qldsla Future Libraries Conference with a funny (of course, would you expect anything else), but also nostalgic and provoking keynote.

It was time for a change. Thanks to the incredible team, today we made some changes in the makerspace, moving the drone cage into a new position, moving the esports computers, moving prototyping material shelving. I love how it looks and feels!!

Canva Sheets brings all the brilliance of formulas, design power of Canva, and adds AI. And create visuals using Magic Charts. Putting in a simple report from our LMS let me create an interactive chart to display our top loans for the term.

Have you tried Canva Code? It's going to allow our students (and us) to prototype designs and ideas with ease. Still some limitations with editing the code directly or the design, but great for teaching prompting and rapid prototyping of apps and games.

I’m very much enjoying putting the finishing touches on my presentation for the TLPLC conference in May. Non-fiction is one of my favourite topics and there is so much to cover and so much to love about non-fiction. Register sites.google.com/syd.catholic...

Junior Library renovation update - while we wait for the completion of the space, it’s awesome to see the arrival of some of our design and feature pieces, like the hero dots that were colour matched to our design. Can’t wait to see them in place and bringing colour and fun to the space.

How do you empty and move an entire Library in two hours? Because you have to and you have the most incredible Library Team.
Superpower on full show as we moved literal mountains (of books, shelves and resources) today.

Digital curation is a big part of my role and the start of the school year means new LibPaths for subject units and updating the general resource and how-to pages, including the multimedia, podcasting and artificial intelligence LibPaths.

Spent the last two days rearranging the Library space. So happy with the end result. Feels so much better, more open, actually has a useable teaching area, makes use of the flow and connection to other areas. So grateful to everyone who helped, especially @timodesignspace.bsky.social #SchoolLibrary

After a wonderful break of switching off from social media (mostly) and trying not to think about work (sort of) I have been diving into Dr Merga’s new book Creating A Reading Culture.
How will you be supporting reading and reading culture this year?

Today’s book haul. A nice chunk of next year’s budget spent, but couldn’t resist these beautiful books. Some are in response to student requests, others for curriculum, some fill collection gaps and some were just too beautiful not to have.

Every year I put together an annual report with stats, data, photos, and events from the year. This year, some of those highlights are amazing. So proud and grateful to the team I get to work with, who do so many amazing things to make this possible.
