In collaboration with the National Gallery of Victoria, SLAV is presenting a conference on Friday, 11th November called Reading Culture: collaborate, create, celebrate, exploring the place where visual literacy, story telling and technology meet. The event contributes to the NGV’s 150th anniversary celebrations.

The full day program includes some of the following speakers:

• Sue McKerracher from the Library Agency discussing The National Year of Reading
• Authors Alice Pung and Alison Lester
• NGV educators on Surrealism, New Guinean art, Albrecht Düre, Indigenous and Medieval art and how to use art as inspiration for creative writing and inquiry based learning

A number of teacher librarians will also be speaking on the use of ebooks, iPads, online book clubs and digital story telling.
