What is MANTLE?
Inspiring Teacher Librarians
The MANTLE Conference is the annual professional conference for Teacher Librarians in Newcastle, Maitland, Taree,
Lake Macquarie and the Central Coast. It is organised by a volunteer committee of local Teacher Librarians from
Public, Catholic and Independent schools. The committee changes annually with half of the committee
being replaced by other Teacher Librarians. It truly is a collegial organisation.
Our goal is to organise a tailored professional learning experience that leaves conference attendees inspired and enthused!
