Our 2011 seminar, Bringing Books Alive held at The State Library of Queensland on 27th. May was an enormously successful event.
We have several exciting events planned to help recognise and celebrate The National Year of Reading in 2012.
We look forward to welcoming many new and familiar faces to these pd events next year and appreciate your invaluable support.
Here is a sample of what some of our 2011 delegates thought of their professional development day with us...
"I found the sessions informative and thought provoking and I came away with a renewed faith in the future of books and reading."

I enjoyed this seminar very much. The various issues covered are relevant to my position and it has added to my knowledge and understanding of books, trends and the use of digital media.
The seminar was valuable and useful to me and I hope to attend as many as I can in the future.
