“..books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die.” – Anne Lamott

Have a lovely summer holiday everyone. Best wishes to all the Year 8s heading off on their next adventure. Remember everyone: Read, Read, Read.
Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey.

School libraries transform, this is not a catch phrase, it is a reality. Te Mana Whakaaweawe o Te Wharepukapuka - The influential power of the library. MRI has a well supported Library, many schools are not so fortunate.

School librarians know the transformative power our mahi accomplishes. We know that because of our work, students gain higher academic results in NCEA. We know library users have higher literacy rates. We know our spaces provide manaakitanga.
