Date: 16/10/2018

The earlier children learn vital skills the better.  So, why are so many primary school libraries so poorly staffed?  This film articulates why, what and how strong school libraries can impact on our youngest students, thereby setting them up for a more successful future.  “Schools without teacher librarians are doing kids an injustice” says Leonie Gracie, executive teacher.

Featuring: Executive teacher, Leonie Gracie; principal, Annamaria Zuffo; author/illustrator, Michael Salmon; teacher librarian, Amy Byrne; and student, Jamie.
