National Library PD

More than just ordering books per term.

Can order books more than once a term.

Can find online resources on "Resources for Learning" - always useful to go to High Interest Topics.

AnyQuestions - website. Like a chat room. Librarians won't give them answers, but will help them find the information they want. Will teach them about how to research. Suggested to do this as a class demonstration.

EPIC - website. has links to educational websites for research. Most useful website: Britannica School Primary, has lots of info, can be printed, listened to, favourited, definitions can be given (without going onto another page). Images and video are available.

Digital NZ - can search for images that represent them

Papers Past - Whole range of papers that have not been publish. 1800's to 1940's

The above can all be found on the Services to Schools page on the National Library webpage.

Creating Readers tab is very useful as well. Not there to teach children to read, but give them opportunities to read.

Read Aloud brochures - available in many different languages - when talking to parents get them to help promote reading for fun with the children.

Also can use NRL magazines to get the reading culture across the school

There is a whole range of maths stories that are actual stories.

Can do meetings at the National Library and then get tour afterwards
