Book news

Check out some of the new Non Fiction books I have recently processed for the library:

On the shelf: I have completed processing the books bought using the remainder of the rewards from last year's Scholastic book fair, selected from Issue 1 of the Lucky book club. 

I'm currently getting Issue 2's books ready for you.

Last night I attended a book buzz at Dorothy Butler Children's Book Shop:

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to publishing guru, Melanie-Laville Moore from Allen & Unwin, and Joanna Grochowicz, author of "Into the White" and "Amundsen's Way". These books are definitely on my To Be Read pile so that I can review them for you.

I took advantage of a book buzz discount and bought some beautiful books for the school library, which I can't wait to process for you.

Hope you have a safe and happy weekend.

New Books and Resources

Morena,

Yesterday I enjoyed reading a few books out loud to some of the tamariki who are at school, including the NZCYA finalist, The Smelly Giant and How not to annoy Dad which had us in stitches.

I covered a pile of new picture books - ready for you to enjoy when you get back to school. Check them out.

A couple of interesting posts popped up on my Facebook last night which I want to share with you:

Young Ocean Explorers posted this:

"We've put the inspirational interviews with these ocean gurus on our site, so schools can use them during lockdown"

And a SLANZA librarian posted a Roald Dahl Kahoot quiz:

I tried it out and it's fun - and only open for two days...

My next post will be about our librarians of the term ...

Stay safe and well.
