Dear Members, 

As the very difficult COVID-19 health situation continues across Australia, the ASLA Board would like to send our very best wishes to those who are working in school libraries under very demanding and trying circumstances. We particularly think of our Victorian colleagues and schools in other states and territories that have needed to close. It is a very difficult process to work remotely and continue in the role of supporting student learning. We extend a message of good health and positive encouragement for all our ASLA members.  

Margo Pickworth

ASLA National Literacy Summit

Planning for the ASLA National Literacy Research Summit is well underway. Partnering with the IT platform Delegate Connect, the Summit will now be held virtually on 21st November with sessions available on-demand following that date.

Registrations have remained at $150 for members. This represents great value for a day of high-quality professional development including keynotes from Dr Margaret Merga, ASLA’s patron, presenting her very latest research in fostering literacy in schools. 

This will be followed by practical implementation strategies through presentations from expert school practitioners, school leaders and literacy experts from across Australia. Facilitated discussion and Q and A sessions will enable active online interaction with other participants from across Australia as well as with the presenters 

If you have already registered for your state summit you do not need to register again.
