1-DSC07429The Schools Library Service, in collaboration with The Malta School Library Association, has once again organized a very fruitful seminar for teacher – librarians in secondary schools.  The seminar , which was held at St Theresa College Girls Secondary Mriehel, started with a welcome address by Ms Anna Maria Gilson, Service Manager (Projects and Initiatives Section), followed by an introduction by Ms Micheline Sciberras, Director General ( Directorate for Educational Services).  These were followed by an opening speech by the Hon. Minister for Education and Employment, Mr Evarist Bartolo.

The intention of this annual seminar is to share information and good practice. To this end, presentations were delivered from practicing teacher and school librarians and there was also ample time for questions from the floor after each presentation.  The presentations gave a detailed and informative overview on various subjects related to school libraries such as the Oliver Library Management System, church school libraries, library activities, information literacy skills and World Book Day competitions.

The International School Library day Seminar was concluded by a short speech by Mr Patrick Decelis, Chairperson MSLA.
