So much to do in the South Island!

The Reading Crusade 2009 has begun!

Christchurch City Libraries and the Crusaders are once again joining forces to promote reading for fun. Crusaders, librarians and teachers will be working in partnership to encourage reading throughout the first term of the 2009 year. The participation area covers from Waimate and the West Coast, to the north of the South Island - the area of the Crusaders franchise.
Go to the Reading Crusade website to find out all the info and great activity ideas.
And take a look at their blog




We've mentioned the South Island Children's Librarians' Conference before and want to remind you all that it is fast approaching. You don't have to be in the south to participate - it is open to all! Look here for details and registration information.

So much to do - so little time!
