Australian School Library and Teacher Librarian Inquiry

Download SLANZA's submission

This is a copy of the submission sent to the House Standing Committee on Education and Training from SLANZA in support of the current inquiry into school libraries and teacher librarians in Australia.

The committee is overwhelmed with the number of submissions received – 359 in total – and we wish our Australian colleagues well in their endeavour to have the Australian Government acknowledge and support the role, adequacy and resourcing of school librarians and teacher librarians in schools.

Those of us in the profession here in New Zealand will be keenly watching the process and outcome reached as this inquiry continues.
