Reviews of the #NZCYA Books Awards Shortlist - YA

27/8/2019

0 Comments

 
Curious to know more about the books that were shortlisted for the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults? There is a wealth of good reading out there!
​
Read these reviews from the Young Adult Category submitted to the inaugural LIANZA Book Review Competition and pick up a copy from your local library...

The Rift by Rachael Craw

Picture

YA Category Review Winner:
The Rift is a YA fantasy book about zombie space dogs called Rift Hounds who cross the Rift when the moon is full. Rangers who live on Black Water Island protect the magical and majestic Old Herd from the Rift Hounds, and use telepathy to communicate with the deer. Meg and Cal are broody, courageous and witty protagonists.
​
The world is well constructed, and conjures beautiful imagery of New Zealand-esque scenery - with thermal pools and a rugged, harsh landscape. The fantasy-side of the story takes a little to get your head around, but it does not make it any less mind-blowing. As I read the book, I was transported to the island and I could clearly see everything in my mind. It takes a great wordsmith to bring a world to life, and Rachael does this so well.
 
The Reviewer: Amy Chiles is a librarian at the brand-new Christchurch Central Library – Tūranga. In her spare time she enjoys sewing and crochet and has fun finding hilarious picture books to read her 5-year old daughter.
Picture
Rachael Craw’s The Rift is a story about connectedness. Its two main characters are thematic foils: Meg Archer grew up among the Rangers but has been away from Black Water Island for many years, while outsider Cal West has never felt accepted on Black Water Island despite his Ranger gifting. The mythology-inspired fantasy element of magical deer and mutant space hounds intervenes at key points to drive character change, but Meg and Cal’s journey to find their place in the world plays out most clearly in their developing relationship with each other. The story wraps up by the last page but the remaining mysteries of the fantasy world leave space for future adventures beyond the Rift. Young adult romance/adventure set against the backdrop of a darkly fantastical world.
​
 The Reviewer: Matthew Sampson is a Selwyn librarian, reader, writer and story theorist and leads the local children’s book club. He peruses the fantasy and science fiction shelves in every age category at his local library.
Judges comments: This review by Matthew Sampson is our pick for category winner for YA fiction. He is impressively concise, yet manages to convey all the main points of what is clearly a complex story. His review compels you to go find the title and start reading it immediately! We appreciate a review that comments on themes and structure as well as the plot. The last sentence is a helpful shelf talk.

Invisibly Breathing by Eileen Merriman

Picture
In Eileen Merriman’s third Young Adult novel, Bailey Hunter has just moved to Wellington from Auckland, an awkward sexual encounter in his wake. His caravan in the driveway is his escape from his four siblings and his alcoholic and abusive father.

Felix likes numbers, Green Day, and the new kid. His parents have separated and his mum has a new boyfriend, which he is less than impressed about.

They gravitate to one other, and a sweet but intense and necessarily secretive romance ensues. Their home lives, however, threaten to interfere; Bailey’s in particular, and a high-energy, suspenseful denouement kept me turning the pages right to the end.
​
I really enjoyed the two main characters; their quirks (a stutter, an obsession with numbers) made them human and interesting without being too odd, especially Felix, who could easily have become a nerd stereotype.
Highly recommended.​
The Reviewer: Brooke Mellsop is a Senior Library Assistant at Westland District Library. She says: I enjoy Earl Grey tea, Jane Austen, and cryptic crosswords, and will reliably round up anyone in the vicinity in the event of a Trivia Night!

Helsinki celebrates ‘Best public library’ award for Central Library Oodi

27/8/2019

0 Comments

 
Although we had our fingers crossed for Tūranga we extend warm congratulations to Helsinki's Oodi library.
​
The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions IFLA nominated library Oodi as the ‘Public Library of the Year’ at the #WLIC19 Athens conference last night. The City of Helsinki is extremely proud for the achievement and recognises the participatory design process as one of the major reasons for the success. ​
Picture
Oodi was designed together with customers for a long period of time. We received more than 2,000 ideas from customers to serve as the basis of the architectural competition. ALA Architects designed an amazing and unique building that takes all the elements most desired by customers into account. The customers immediately made Oodi their own, which is our greatest success. The Public Library of the Year award tells us that the world has also taken notice of this, says Anna-Maria Soininvaara, Director of Library Oodi.

The annually presented Public Library of the Year award is presented to a public library that is either newly built or set up in premises not previously used for library purposes. This year, a total of 16 libraries from all over the world applied to be considered for this award. The prize was granted in the 85th World Library and Information Congress of IFLA in Athens, Greece. The conference took place from August 24 to August 30, 2019
Oodi is a public space in the heart of Helsinki
Helsinki Central Library Oodi is a living meeting place at ‘Kansalaistori square’ - the square of citizens - right at the heart of Helsinki. It is also the flagship of Finnish public libraries.

The Library Oodi opened in December 2018 and had a great success in terms of the amount of visitors. After six months from opening, Oodi has already had over two million visitors.

Oodi offers wide range of library services: a collection of 100,000 books, newspapers and magazines and family library services. The new digital and workshop services include for example 3D-printers, laser cutters and label printers as well as music studios and film editing equipment. There is also a cinema, information service of the city of Helsinki and EU, as well as rooms dedicated for studying and working. 

Oodi complements the cultural and media hub formed by Helsinki Music Centre, Finlandia Hall, Sanoma editorial house and the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma. Oodi is a non-commercial, urban public space that is open to all, right opposite the Parliament Building.
​
The project for building the central library was part of the celebrations of 100 years of independence in Finland.

Helsinki has an excellent network of libraries
Helsinki City Library has 37 branch libraries all over the city. Residents are also served by two library buses, which tour the parts of Helsinki with no library branch of their own. Helsinki City Library also maintains 10 institutional libraries and a home service for those who cannot reach a library by their own means.
​
The Helsinki city libraries form part of the Helmet network - the Helsinki Metropolitan Area Libraries - which also consists of the neighbouring city libraries of Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen. Helmet libraries’ customers can use all the services of all Helmet libraries.

The libraries offer also wide digital services of electronic library that has 24/7 services. The Helmet e-library is one of the largest e-libraries in the Nordic countries. Library patrons have access to thousands of electronic books, journals and magazines as well as music, databases and online courses free of charge.

Finland is the most literate country in the world
The Finnish library system has strongly supported the education system providing access to information and literature. Finland has been among the top ten countries of the worldwide OECD study ‘Program for International Student Assessment’ (PISA) many times. In the study year 2016, Finland was also the most literate country in the world.

SAGE PUBLISHING
​
Irene Lai, Regional Manager, Sales Marketing and Communications shares some background and plans for SAGE Publishing
What achievements in the library and information sector is SAGE Publishing most proud of?
SAGE Publishing is an independent publishing company, and its founder, Sara Miller McCune, has committed to its remaining independent for the very long term.
We are proud of our independence, which enables us to focus on the broad publishing needs of our communities. We are driven by academic excellence, and we invest for the benefit of our publishing partners – not simply to meet the needs of shareholders. Sara’s estate plan ensures that SAGE is secured as an independent publisher, which means that those who work with SAGE will always be treated with respect and integrity.
Today, we have more than 1,000 journals and over 800 new books each year, spanning a wide range of subject areas. Our growing selection of library products includes archives, data, case studies and video.
 
What is SAGE excited about sharing with delegates at the LIANZA 2019 Conference?
SAGE, and its many resources, are continuously recognised for excellence on a global scale. We are excited to share information about Lean Library, our newest technological solution for libraries, is a browser plug-in, which helps libraries to increase the visibility of their resources and their presence to patrons. It simplifies the research process and leads users to resources through easy, seamless access.
 
What questions should delegates be asking SAGE at the conference?
  • How can our library drive more traffic to our resources?
  • What can we do to have customised messages to our patrons?
  • What ideas does SAGE have to promote SAGE resources that we have already acquired?
  • How can the institution work with SAGE to publish articles?
 
Who is coming from SAGE and what are their areas of expertise?
  • Irene Lai, Regional Manager – Books and Library Sales Marketing and Communications – APAC
  • Alicia Solofa, Assistant Manager, Library Renewals and Solutions – APAC
 
What does SAGE hope to achieve by engaging with library professionals in New Zealand?
SAGE hopes to build on existing relationships and bring it a step further. We are also keen to hear feedback on our products, the industry as a whole. Lastly, to reconnect with our old friends and gain new ones along the way.
 
What other conferences does SAGE attend around the globe?
 As a publisher, SAGE attend many conferences around the world. Important ones are;
o   IFLA WLIC
o   ALIA Online
o   ALA (American Library Association) Annual Conference
o   Charleston Conference
o   Frankfurt International Book Fair
o   Beijing International Book Fair
o   And many more

The NZMS team, old and new, share why the LIANZA Conference is a highlight on their calendar too!
Picture
What achievements in the library and information sector is NZMS most proud of?
Andy Fenton – Promoting Community Engagement and Special Collection Management through our Recollect platform is a wonderful achievement we are very proud of. We are continuing to break new ground by empowering communities to enhance collaboration, sharing and inclusiveness, as well as preservation. Also, the collaboration and inclusion we have experienced in the library and information sector is an achievement we are proud to cherish and maintain – right throughout our three offices in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. We have always enjoyed participating IN the sector and have always been made very welcome to do so, it’s a wonderful thing to be cared about.
 
What news does NZMS look forward to sharing with delegates at the LIANZA 2019 Conference?
Gavin Mitchell – Innovations such as our new 3D digitisation service will be on display at this year’s conference. We will also be highlighting significant developments in Recollect with the release of Collection Management and Digital Preservation tools within the Recollect platform.
David Tingey – As the new NZ Country Manager for NZMS, I’m looking forward to meeting you all at my first LIANZA conference.
 
What was the best LIANZA Conference you ever attended and why?
Andy Fenton – Tough choice, my first LIANZA conference in 1997 was brilliant – because as a ‘conference virgin’ some pretty cool librarians (one still practitioning today) took me under their wing and ensured I got the most out of the conference in Whanganui.  Also, a random act of kindness at the dinner/dance – I’d forgotten my wallet and one of the organising committee drove me ten minutes back to the motel to pick it up – I love how librarians are always giving.
 
Then again, my first dress up/costume was Wellington in 2002, as Bananas in Pyjamas provided a great laugh at the St James.
 
Leigh Rout – I realise I’m the newest conference goer in the many years of NZMS attending LIANZA conferences, but my favourite was the ‘Shout’ conference in 2015.
 
Sheryl Sporle-Fahey – I love being inspired by the library sector, I especially loved the 2015 conference and Cath Sheard’s presentation – ‘The Audit of Kindness’ which was very memorable, every time I hear Cath speak I learn something valuable for my life.
 
Alison Barnett – So hard to pick! I have enjoyed them all for different reasons. The first conference I attended in 2013 was special because I was new to the sector and felt instantly at home!

Andy Fenton (again!) – ALSO, Hamilton in 2013, where one of the keynotes really resonated on inclusive librarianship – and we have been Insta-buddies ever since.
 
ALSO, the last one – because it was with all of my current team, and many of you all. The conferences are superb networking events, with great speakers, knowledge-sharing, inclusive chats and a platform for developing future collaborations.
 
And we all love this picture of our team at the Christchurch LIANZA in 2017; for us, the LIANZA Conferences are both a great place to meet people the sector and also another opportunity to spend time with colleagues who are based around the country, and – clearly – have fun!
 
NZMS shows its commitment to the NZ library community in many ways. Why is it important to NZMS to provide support to the LIANZA and other library conferences?
Andy Fenton – I get asked this a lot, including by other vendors, the short answer is that it’s never occurred to me not to get involved. It’s about personal values – when you join a club or a neighbourhood it’s important to contribute in a mindful/meaningful way, and to do (more than) your fair share – it empowers others, which is empowering in itself… I’m a hoooge fan of doing random acts of kindness.
 
What is the most innovative use of Recollect that you have seen to date?
Gavin Mitchell – Using the flexibility of metadata management in Recollect and the power of community contributions. We are working with NZTA to develop a site that will enable Roading Engineers across New Zealand to collaborate and create metadata standards for roads and other infrastructure assets.
 
Andy Fenton –
·         Storytelling – it’s what we hear people want
·         Timeline – originally client conceived, improved upon by us
·         Video-tagging – even YouTube doesn’t do it like we do!
·         Crowd-sourcing index cards and slides
·         Digital Preservation
 
What has NZMS been up to overseas?
Gavin Mitchell - NZMS has been busy providing Recollect to the Australian GLAM sector with more than 30 customers now using Recollect. We are now taking Recollect to North America and Europe! This has seen Andy and Tyler attend conferences in the US including ALA (American Libraries Association) in June, while myself and Andy will attend IFLA WLIC Athens in August and I will attend the CILIP Rare Books and Special Collections conference in Wales in September.
Will you be rocking some great costumes at the 2019 conference dinner? Will you give us a clue about what you are planning? 
Andy Fenton – No pressure! You’ll have to wait and see.

​LIANZA Best Library Display Competition – 2019 NZ Book Awards for Children and Young Adults

19/8/2019

0 Comments

 
We challenged you to create a display of the NZ Book Awards for Children & Young Adults finalists in your library and enter our Best Library Display competition. We wanted to see how creative you could get with your library displays.
Keep your eyes peeled, as we will be sharing all the entries over the next few weeks on Libraries Aotearoa.

The winner of the Hell Pizza Vouchers is Kay at Rolleston School Library. Congratulations Kay!
Picture

Kay says: ‘The inspiration for our display came from the resources that the NZ book awards supply on their website, so I tried to use their fonts and logo as the main driving force to make our design and show case the books we have purchased to date from the finalists lists. Usually I place the posters on the wall and give the location of each book, so having this competition was a fabulous excuse to do something different! 

I am hoping to be able to share the Hell pizza vouchers with my student librarians as a treat end of term and of course any books we win will go into the library collection.

We thought we should have our own book awards, so we have done a competition to run from the start of this term until after the award winners are announced. Prizes will be individual as well as classes and we have a selection of books and pens etc from our Scholastic Book Fair earlier in the year. Entrants have to predict the winner and if they choose the same as the actual winners they receive a prize!’
​

Judges’ comments: This display has all the elements we look for – an eye catching title, books on display and the voting jar is an inspired piece of interactivity! We liked the bright colours and that the books easily accessible.

​Use of Book Covers by School and Public Libraries in Aotearoa

19/8/2019

0 Comments

A Joint Statement from PANZ, NZSA, CLNZ, LIANZA & SLANZA

Authors, publishers and libraries have a shared interest in the use of book covers to promote books to readers. Library displays and catalogues can be enhanced by the use of the images from book covers.

The New Zealand Society of Authors, Publishers Association of New Zealand and Copyright Licensing New Zealand wish to provide some certainty for New Zealand libraries on the use of book covers. In circumstances where a book cover is being used for non-commercial purposes by a prescribed library (as defined in the Copyright Act 1994 Sec 50), libraries can reproduce the cover image without the need to seek specific permission. Copies made of book covers for displays, posters, catalogues, social media and websites where the purpose of the copying is to promote the book and/or the author would fall within the scope of this Statement.

Uses of book covers that would not be covered by this Statement would be any use that generated a financial return to the library e.g. using a cover image on book-marks for sale to library patrons.

When using a book cover libraries should consider the moral rights of the author, the designer and the creator of any artwork that may be on the book cover. The book cover should, where practical, be used as a whole image, or in such a way that the integrity of the cover is maintained.
