Welcome Library lovers to SLANZA SESSIONS, a radio show and podcast to celebrate school libraries, and all of the people who inhabit them. Local Manawatū school librarians Alan Dingley, Sasha Eastwood and Chris Auer, will be bringing you interviews, reviews, views and more. We want to share our love of books for youth and young people, and our passion for school libraries. We will be asking questions and seeking answers about how we can all ensure the School Library maintains its valuable place in the NZ literacy and education landscape.
