I know there’s a lot of discussion at the moment about mandating Teacher-Librarians in school libraries (which I totally agree with).

But as I’ve been visiting a number of schools lately, an even bigger concern is that libraries are not being staffed at all. Some schools only have a Library Officer funded 2-3 days a week 😳

So please let me know if your school library is staffed 5 days a week or not. I’m doing some research before I write to my MP. Please share far and wide. I’d really like to get a wide cross-section of replies.

Mark this date on your calendar Perth people!

Kyilla Community Farmers Market and Fun Reads 4 Kids have something very special planned for the Book Week Halloween Market on Saturday 31st October.

More details to come but I’ve just finished putting together 100 little gift bags. I wonder who will be receiving them??

I have such fond memories as a child, of my whole family heading off to the library fortnightly on a Friday after school/work. Mum, Dad and us three kids would browse the shelves and borrow books for the next two weeks. I think I was in heaven!

Of course, what I didn’t realise back then, was that my parents were setting an example for me to follow when I had my own kids.

No judgement here - just interested to hear what’s the trend now: At what age did you start taking your child(ren) to your local library?

At what age did you stop going to your library?

Would you like to support Telethon and enjoy a fun family day out?

Mark tomorrow in your calendars and head down to the Ballajura Community Fair. Chock-a-block full of awesome stalls (come and say ‘hi’ to me and enter my competition) with live music, kids activities, yummy food and a great atmosphere.

It’s National Nutrition Week! Did you know that 20% of 2-3 year olds eat up sufficient veggies but by 4-17 years, this figure reduces to 2-3% (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2022)

That means picture books such as I’d Rather Eat Chocolate play an important community service role!

Buy your copy now from any good bookshop, order a signed copy from my website, or borrow from your local library 🫛🥕🥦
