School Libraries During and Post COVID-19: Series 2

Hosted by Karen Bonanno, Eduwebinar, with school library practitioners
25 June 2020

Many school library staff have responded to the changes triggered by COVID-19. There has been a need for a rapid response to how services, resources and programs are delivered to meet the needs of students, staff and the school community at this critical time. We are all at different phases of response and recovery to the lockdown. Even so, it will be necessary to consider what is sustainable beyond COVID-19.

In this free digital broadcast, I will be joined by Holly Godfree (Campaign Coordinator, Students Need School Libraries), Karen Malbon (Manager of Library Services, Melbourne Girls Grammar), Karine Lespinasse (Teacher Librarian Pre-School, German European School Singapore) and June Wall (Past President, Australian School Library Association & School Library Association of New South Wales). Together we will share and discuss ideas, experiences and strategies on the way school library personnel have responded to the change and the transition back to school. We will also explore how we need to think strategically about what happens post-COVID-19.
