ASLA Tasmania and CBCA (Tas branch) are collaborating this year for members and colleagues statewide to attend a 2008 joint conference Libraries 2L: Learning and Literature, which will take place in Hobart on 15 and 16 August 2008. All details are included in the attached flyer and registration form.
This is a significant event for Tasmania, and we urge you to support it with your attendance. See you there!
All information will be uploaded onto the two branch websites.
Keynote speakers include Dr Susan La Marca, Kevin Hennah, John Heffernan (Book Week celebratory dinner), and Carole Wilkinson. Young Melbourne author Jack Heath will speak to students on Friday 15 August at 11.00am. Jack is an entertaining, lively speaker who published his first novel at the age of 18. This will be a great motivational session for students in Years 8 to 10. Other speakers include Tony Flowers and Peter Gouldthorpe, Isobel Williams and Dr Ken Price.

It seems that as an-ex Tasmanian teacher living in Finland I have missed yet another intersting conference! Every now and again I go in and browse this homepage and am always very impressed by all that is being done for reading in Tasmania. I am now also a school librarian on the Åland Islands in Finland but worked for many years as a primary teacher both in Launceston and in Hobart with Jennie Connor at Glenorchy before leaving to go to Perth as an exchange teacher. Never returned to Tasmania to live but was at a conference in 2003 at Wrest Point which was incredibly good.
If anyone should be on their way to my part of the world I would love to get in touch.
With very best wishes to Tasmania
