Loving the Library @ MSC
Hi Everyone,
We believe that reading is not just something that is schoolwork. The Centre for Youth Literature at the State Library of Victoria promotes reading as an active, pleasurable and essential activity for all young people. Inside a Dog is a project of the Centre for Youth Literature. The website promotes young adult literature, highlighting Australian writers and their work and welcomes the views of readers, including reviews, opinion, discussion, competition entries, and feedback.
The website will help students find great reads, share reviews of books they love or hate, discuss book news and hot topics in the news blog and forums and gain insight into an authors’ thoughts about writing and reading with the Writer in Residence blog.
The Inky Awards annually recognises high quality young adult literature by allowing teens to judge the novels they love. There are two awards: The Gold Inky Award for an Australian book and the Silver Inky Award for an international book. The shortlist are selected entirely by a panel of young judges, and the winner from each category is voted for online by teen readers of insideadog.com.au. The awards are named after Inky- the wonder dog and mascot for the online platform.
I would like to encourage all students to have a look at the website.
