across the story bridge competition

In response to the large numbers of teacher librarians creating story bridges in their libraries, the CBCA have set up a page to showcase all the creative and inspiring bridges across Australia based on the 2010 Book Week theme.

August 15. We would like to announce that the winner of the merchandise pack is Gail Smith of All Saints' Junior College, WA. Her library team were very excited and should be receiving their items this week. We encourage you to continue to send in your displays. Any emailed to trishab@cbca.org.au will be added to the website.
