        ASLA is excited to launch a series of new Interactive PL Workshops designed specifically for school library staff ready to grow their leadership influence within their school communities!

        This workshop will explore Lily’s V.O.I.C.E.S. leadership framework, where participants will explore how effective school library leaders: 

        ✅ Value their professional identity and leadership impact 
        ✅ Orate as instructional and curriculum partners 
        ✅ Impact decision-making through evidence and advocacy 
        ✅ Change through innovation and service design 
        ✅ Engage through professional networks and collaboration 
        ✅ Strategise to build sustainable leadership pathways 

        In subsequent workshops, guided activities, reflective tasks, and collaborative discussions aim to build practical strategies that participants can apply immediately in their own school context. 

        Who should attend? This workshop is ideal for: 

        • Library assistants and support staff aspiring to leadership 
        • Early career teacher librarians 
        • Experienced library staff wanting to strengthen strategic leadership capacity 
        • Anyone looking to grow their influence and advocacy within their school 

        Why does this matter? As highlighted in the Library Leaders Hub, sustainable and future-focused school libraries rely on staff who can confidently articulate their value, influence school priorities, and advocate for equitable access to information and reading culture. 

        Stay tuned… This series of interactive workshops will help participants identify their leadership persona, build confidence in their professional voice, and create actionable leadership goals aligned with national professional standards and ASLA priorities.

        This webinar examines Australia's social media ban for young people under 16, now approximately three months into implementation. We'll explore how the legislation is unfolding in practice, early observations of its impact on youth wellbeing and behaviour, and what schools are seeing at the coalface. Participants will gain insight into the challenges young people are navigating, such as alternative platform migration and social connectivity concerns. This informative session equips librarians with a deeper understanding of the ban's real-world effects, enabling them to better support young people through informed conversations and appropriate resources during this significant digital shift.
