It’s Australian School Library Day! Let’s celebrate our school libraries, teacher librarians and all the wonderful people who work in these spaces of knowledge not just today but every day. Bears love school libraries too. #studentsneedschoollibraries #cbca

“Twilight is the border between day and night, and the shore is the border between sea and land. The border is longing: when both have fallen in love but still haven't said anything. The border is to be on the way. It is the way that is the most important thing.”
― Tove Jansson
“Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, a road comes into existence.” Lin Yu Tang Chinese philosopher 1895-1976
