Did you know it’s been estimated that less than a third of Aotearoa NZ schools have a library space with an adequate collection and that is staffed by a specialist school librarian? (SLANZA Media Release 2022)

SLANZA (School Library Association of NZ Aotearoa) thought it was long overdue to celebrate our school libraries across the motu to showcase the difference a school library can make to every school community.   

This is Week 3 at Rāroa and there will be all sorts of fun activities for students to get involved in. Dressing up is always fun, second hand books will be on sale, there will be badges and colouring in, and bookmarks and prizes.
