Teaching used to be a life-long career for most.
But new research shows public school teachers earn less than comparable professions, and the gap widens with age.
To support teachers and retain knowledge & experience we must fully fund public schools. #auspol

This article brings home the fact that the library is not just a place of learning and literacy, but a 'third space' of wellbeing. I challenge school leaders who say "we can't afford a library/teacher librarian/qualified library staff": How can you afford NOT to have this?

π How many parents or teachers realise just how ruthlessly the library profession has been gutted? School leaders & policy makers wring their hands over falling literacy while they defund & deskill the school library - the β₯οΈ of literacy in the school #libraries #literacy

I'm thinking of countless authors (the thinking and poetic voices of our times) who talk about the importance of their school library as a place of learning, calm, refuge, acceptance, nurturing...all the things needed to become who they did. #ASLD2023 #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries

Our school library is a shared use facility with @LibrariesACT. It's a wonderful win-win for the school and public library communities being in the same beautiful space. Fantastic practitioners working in both organisations. #ASLD2023 #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries @LoriKorodaj

BREAKING! Teacher librarians might (finally) start being counted by @ABSStats in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO).
Solid Data will help get qualified staff in ALL school libraries. Thank you @ALIANational!

We're going to use the Thank You card templates, from @NeedSchoolLibs #ASLD website page, for staff and students to fill out and make a display. We'll ask them to focus on the 'hidden' work library staff do that's helped them.

Rest easy, #StudentsNeedSchoolLibaries supporters. There is hope on the horizon with this (see RTβ¬οΈ).
Just give our leadership team a few weeks to get our ducks in a row. π¦π¦π¦π¦ (Yes, that's right. 'Literal' emoji use just happened).

We have yet not received any EOI's to coordinate our #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries campaign. Perhaps you are tempted but feeling shy? Truly, it's not as hard as you might think; the main requirement is a bit of drive.
COB Thursday is new deadline.
Take the leap!

Fantastic to hear @TrishHepworth from @ALIANational lead the charge on @abcadelaide about #StudentsNeedSchoolLibraries. The shock that @Julesschiller expresses about the decline in staffing just goes to show that @NeedSchoolLibs is still sorely needed. bit.ly/3rmkedB

Coordinating @NeedSchoolLibs has been an equal mix of exhilirating/challenging/rewarding (with a sprinkling of Grunt Work). In short: Exactly the kind of thing that would appeal to many school library people!
Please feel free to reach out if you want to chat about it.
Can't wait to see the ideas from our next Students Need School Libraries campaign coordinator - Is it YOU?
Deadline for EOI is 5 July.
