Book Reviews
I have found a vast selection of book reviews on the New Zealand Book Council website, http://www.bookcouncil.org.nz/Education/Whats%20New/School%20Library .
These reviews have been useful when considering books to buy, and I also use a few lines, which I include in the library catalogue, so that students can view the notes to help them make informed decisions when choosing their library books.
Cheers, Jenny

NZ Book Council DVDs on writing
Following on from this afternoon's Kaitaia network meeting - actually I had done a post already mentioning the new newsletter for schools available on the NZ Book Council website - http://www.bookcouncil.org.nz/Education/Programme_Overview/Information.htm
and the Wordspace DVDs which I showed you...
The DVDs were created as a resource for high schools, featuring leading New Zealand writers answering students’ questions about writing. Covering a range of writing genres, the 14 DVDs record video-conferenced discussions between writers and secondary school students around the country. They have proved to be a popular and valuable learning tool for schools, linking with many aspects of the New Zealand writing curriculum. Here is the link www.bookcouncil.org.nz/Shop to the Shop - you can get some great author posters there too...
The DVDs are $15 each or $60 for set of 5 DVDs from 2007 (includes Fiction, Journalism, Poetry, Reviewing and Creative Non-fiction, and Scripting and Playwriting).

NZ Book Council
Sarah Maxey, mentioned in the previous post, has also designed the NZ Book Council's new newsletter for schools, called The School Library at this link... http://www.bookcouncil.org.nz/Education/Whats%20New/School%20Library
The Book Council's redesigned website has an Education zone... "Teachers and school librarians can use our Schools channel to learn all about our Writers in Schools programme, book an author, give us their feedback and find additional resources to use alongside the programme. Pop into the Kids' Zone for fun with reading, with competitions, word and reading games, and news about great new books. Head over to the Parents channel if you are looking for New Zealand book recommendations for children of all ages and other useful material for supporting your children’s reading."
While visiting the Book Council website, secondary school teachers and librarians should check out Wordspace http://www.bookcouncil.org.nz/Education/Writer%20Interviews/Wordspaces
"WordSpace is a series of video conference discussions between secondary school students and leading New Zealand writers. It provides a forum for inspiration, education and the exchange of ideas, and is offered as part of the New Zealand Book Council's Writers in Schools programme."
There are DVDs available for purchase http://www.bookcouncil.org.nz/Products/DVD
with a range of authors discussing creative writing, journalism, script writing, poetry, reviewing, playwriting, YA fiction, fantasy writing etc according to their speciality...
