LIANZA Children & Youth Services Network

LIANZA CHILDREN & YOUTH SERVICES NETWORK
Every second Tuesday of the month, 2PM 

LIANZA offers a time and space for children and youth service librarians and library staff to connect in a peer-to-peer network. This network supports anyone from within the profession engaging with children, youth, parents and whānau.

We invite you to jump online on the second Tuesday of the month to share your ideas, experiences and questions with your CYS colleagues across Aotearoa. From working in partnership with early childhood centres and schools, class visits, engaging teens, holiday programmes, summer reading, use of te reo Māori and sign language in programming – there’s lots to discuss. We have had some marvellous presentations and discussions - let the good work continue.

If there is a topic you'd like to discuss or you can help with one of the sessions below please contact Angie: comms@lianza.org.nz.

These sessions are NOT recorded.
