Julie Harper and her family have sold Jabberwocky Bookshop in Auckland and the new people are no longer handling the subscriptions for Magpies and The Literature Base, never mind what the Magpies website says at the moment !
Either you can subscribe online at the Magpies website http://www.magpies.net.au/magpies/public/?MIval=m_pages&pagename=SAOI or you can print off the subscription form and post it to Magpies Subscription, PO Box 75 Paparoa 0543.

The Literature Base
I've just received the October 2009 issue of The Literature Base - what a great journal for inspiring ways to use literature in the classroom and library...
The focus on of this issue is "around the world in 80 books" - travelling the world through literature, with suggestions for extension work, displays and lists of books - it would make a great book week theme... classics, multiculturalism, passports, hot air balloons, continents, mapping...
This issue also has a great article on "fractured fairytales in the classroom" - traditional literature re-interpreted - with activities for middle and upper primary classes - analysis, character autobiography, reward poster for folktale villain, poetry, plays, picture books, diorama, trial by jury...
A good item to include in your library budget for 2010 :
Literature Base ($46 - 4 issues pa) Magpies ($53 - 5 issues pa)
http://www.magpies.net.au/magpies/public/?MIval=m_pages&pagename=SAOI
Around the Bookshops ($36.50 - 4 issues pa)

Library professional reading journals
Do you subscribe to library professional reading journals at your school library ?
These valuable resources keep you up to date with new authors, titles, series, award winners... inspire you with interviews and articles... provide booklists, reports on events, and suggest ways to promote reading etc. They are a valuable tool for helping teachers increase their knowledge of children's literature, as well as obviously informing your book buying / collection development for the school library.
I'd recommend Magpies and Around the Bookshops especially, and also The Literature Base for for suggested classroom activities based on themes / genres / individual titles...
