If you’ve ever been to MANTLE Conference , you will know we pride ourselves on the merch bag we provide our delegates.

This year’s logo was designed by Binny Talib. Picture Book Illustrator & Author and features on our bag, notepad and pen. (there is also a special extra something inside)!

Our bags not only look fantastic they are so practical and functional for hauling all the things you’ll collect on the day.

Pick up your limited edition bag when you register on the day.

📚 WHO WILL TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO NAVIGATE THE INFORMATION AGE?

Teacher librarian positions are being cut.

At a time when literacy standards are falling and reading for pleasure is declining, we need to be investing in reading — not reducing the educators who champion it.

Teacher librarians help students discover books, develop a love of reading, build literacy, research effectively and think critically in a world increasingly shaped by misinformation, social media and AI.

This isn’t just about jobs.

It’s about our students and their future.

📢 We need your support.

If you believe teacher librarians are essential to our students and our schools, please write a short supporter statement telling us why.

Whether you’re a parent, student, teacher, author, former student or community member — your voice matters.

Please share this post and add your voice.

The MANTLE Committee are deeply concerned and personally affected by the recent announcement of the proposed cuts to the Teacher Librarian roles in MN Catholic Schools primary schools from 2027.

This view will have long lasting implications for the staff it impacts and the students in the schools.

MANTLE Conference is a collegial organisation that welcomes and supports teacher librarians from all sectors and we will continue to do so.
