Librarian’s love of reading inspires students
A PASSION for reading and storytelling with children and families has culminated in a coveted Australian Schools Library Association (ASLA) library advocate award for Trinity Anglican School’s Kewarra Beach campus librarian Danielle Harte.
Ms Harte’s commitment to literacy and learning and the pivotal role school libraries play in fostering connection have earned national recognition by introducing innovative programming and weekly classes for all students that seamlessly blend literacy with nature experiences.
She said she was excited and humbled to be the recipient of this year’s school library advocate award.
“As the school library coordinator, I have shared my love for books and stories and the joy that brings,” she said.
“I have witnessed the transformative impact of a school library and how creating an inclusive space where everyone feels safe, connected, and inspired to learn and grow as a transformative impact on children and families.
“As an advocate, I will strive to continue championing the importance of school libraries in nurturing future generations.”
