WELCOME TO MANTLE 2009

The Professional Development Committee of Teacher-Librarians in the Lower North Coast, Manning-Camden Haven, and Hunter-Central Coast regions presents

MANTLE CONFERENCE 2009

“Picture This”

at Newcastle City Hall

Friday 22 May 2009

As teacher-librarians we all have a vision of what our library might be. Unfortunately, this ideal picture often exists only in our imagination.

Could we have a workable and attractive library? Could we have a virtual collection to add to our up-to-date audiovisual collection? Could we make greater use of Web 2.0 technologies? Could we use the National Library of Australia and their “Picture This” project? Could we improve our collections of graphic novels and picture books?

MANTLE 2009 will help us to “Picture…” what our libraries could be, and bring that vision a little closer to fruition.
