Getting ready for this meeting
Get ready to Zoom!
Joining a meeting has instructions if you're new to Zoom.
You may also want to join the meeting a few minutes early (from 1:45pm) to check your tech — make sure your microphone, speakers, and webcam are ready to go.
Prepare to share
At our last meeting, we talked about some actions for you to follow up on:
Try a search of the National Library catalogue to find great books.
Plan — and possibly run! — an event to celebrate reading in your school.
Share information about your library with your school community.
We'd love to hear how you got on with any of these, or how things are going in your library. There'll be time to share any successes you’ve had, whether big or small!
If have a story to share or a photo or two you’d like to show everyone, please email them to Anne anne.dickson@dia.govt.nz by 5pm Wednesday 18 August.
