<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; line-height: 1.5;">This year we are trying for something new! <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Do you know as a Primary School Librarian what your students may experience in an Intermediate or Secondary School Library? <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">What skills will they need? What resources – print and digital - does the library have? Can you help to prepare them better for the next library journey they will be on?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Intermediate Librarians – What does your local Secondary School offer to students in the Library? <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">What research skills will your students need to develop for secondary school study? <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">How can you inspire your students to continue being active library users at the next step in their education?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Secondary School Librarians – How can you help to prepare students for their tertiary education studies? <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Want the answers to these questions?

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Then go visit the library your students will transition to. Talk – Discover – Find Out!

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Please arrange your visits using the contact information in the Transitions Tour tables of participating host School and Tertiary libraries.
