Publishers share their Bologna Book Fair experiences

Pania Tahau-Hodges of HUIA at the Bologna Children's Book Fair
|
|
From HUIA Publishers:
Earlier this month, director of HUIA Pania Tahau-Hodges travelled to Italy to promote our books at the Bologna Children's Book Fair. She went with a clear focus to meet like-minded publishers with aligned values. At the fair, we tapped into the great appetite that exists for Indigenous storytelling and the growing network of Indigenous publishers.
The international interest in our authors and books has been steadily increasing over the last few years. We are pleased to see the success of The Bomb by Sacha Cotter and Josh Morgan continue in the United States as The Cannonball published by Sourcebooks. Relationships like this give impetus to go to Bologna, knowing we are building on existing relationships as well as forging new ones.
It was also valuable to connect face-to-face with people who we have built relationships with online. Pania spent time with Whiti Hereaka's literary agent, Jessica Craig, whom we have engaged to build on the international interest generated for Kurangaituku from both the Jann Medlicott Acorn Prize for Fiction and the longlist for the Dublin Literary Award.
While our focus internationally is to sell rights and support the aspirations of our authors, there are also key spaces HUIA is well-positioned to contribute to. Being at Bologna has re-ignited our motivation to build transformative relationships with other Indigenous businesses and strengthen the sovereignty of Indigenous publishing across the globe. We know the potential for storytelling grows exponentially when Indigenous peoples have equal opportunity to lead and direct in the publishing landscape.
The international market is an exciting and dynamic space that we are proud to be a part of. Introducing our storytellers to eager audiences overseas is a valuable and uplifting experience, and we give our thanks to PANZ and Creative NZ for supporting this campaign to Bologna.

Rachel Lawson of Gecko Press also reported on their experience:
The pre-fair weekend is a chance to march up the 500 steps to the Sanctuary of the Madonna of San Luca, to clear the jetlag and prepare the legs for the many capacious halls of the fair itself. This year the air at the top was a sparkly but very crisp reminder that we were barely on the doorstep of spring.
Then, as is also tradition, we squeezed in our first meeting on Sunday, when the halls are quiet with just a few people setting up and held our last meeting while stands are deconstructed and wheeled away all around us on Thursday afternoon. There’s nothing like a 35-hour plane journey to encourage you to make the most of time at the fair.
Between us, Julia and I had over 80 meetings in the four days, plus dinners, exhibitions and other bits and bobs. That’s more than 200 books over the course of the fair. A book needs to really stand out to rise to the top of such a pile.

National Library Removal and Diposal Policy update
|
|
From Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa National Library
Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa National Library is developing a new policy for removing and disposing of collection items. This will sit alongside other important policies that guide our collection management activities.
This new policy will inform how we make recommendations to the Minister of Internal Affairs about items to be removed from collections in the future and how we dispose of those items.
The policy will help ensure that decisions are made in line with collections management best practice and legislative requirements, support consistency and transparency, and guide how interested parties can contribute to decision making.
A draft of the policy has been developed and the National Library would like to receive and consider your views.
The public engagement period for this policy will run for 6 weeks from 3 April 2023 to 12 May 2023. To make a submission, please read the draft policy on our website and answer our survey before 12 May 2023. The survey asks four specific questions and allows for additional written feedback.
You may also send formal written feedback via email to NLPolicy@dia.govt.nz
Read more about the policy and take the survey here: https://natlib.govt.nz/about-us/strategy-and-policy/removal-and-disposal-policy/
Note from PANZ: We encourage members to review the draft policy and submit feedback. You can view and download the draft policy here.

New Te Awhi Rito Reading Ambassador announced
|
|
Alan Dingley, Librarian at Palmerston North Intermediate School, has been named as the next Te Awhi Rito Reading Ambassador for children and young people. Alan is a passionate advocate and school librarian who communicates the joy and transformation reading can bring to a young person’s world. He brings impressive experience, skills and knowledge to the kaupapa of creating readers.
Alan will succeed Ben Brown (Ngāti Mahuta, Ngāti Koroki, Ngāti Paoa) whose term as the first Te Awhi Rito Reading Ambassador ends in May.
|
|
|
Te Awhi Rito Reading Ambassador supports and champions the importance of reading in the lives of young New Zealanders, their whānau and communities.

He has deep knowledge of New Zealand literature for young people and the enthusiasm and talent to communicate effectively through many channels to the diverse communities of Aotearoa New Zealand.
“I want to connect people to books that would change their lives, just like books did, and still do, for me. A good book is either a doorway or a mirror. You can see yourself in it, or you can escape into it. What a great job it will be to promote something like that.”

Allen & Unwin set up new library at HomeGround
|
|
Auckland City Mission (Te Tāpui Atawhai) and Allen & Unwin New Zealand have celebrated the opening of Matatihi Whare Pukapuka, a new library belonging to the tenants of HomeGround.
This beautiful collection of books has been given to Te Tāpui Atawhai by publishers Allen & Unwin NZ, a donation worth more than $10,000. Libraries will be installed at three Auckland City Mission sites: HomeGround, James Liston Hostel and Te Whare Hīnātore.
The HomeGround library is now up and running, with residents able to borrow two books at a time. HomeGround tenants Leslie and Monique are among those who have taken on librarian roles at Matatihi Whare Pukapuka.
The James Liston Hostel and Te Whare Hīnātore libraries will be opening soon.
Allen & Unwin NZ worked alongside Unity Books to source over 350 books from a range of publishers for these three libraries. The titles are a mix of adults and children, fiction and all kinds of non-fiction with a strong emphasis on books published in Aotearoa, and a focus on local Auckland connections and te ao Māori. Allen & Unwin also provided a cookbook for each of the 80 apartments at HomeGround.
The library shelving at HomeGround was a labour of love by the late and much missed tenant known as Uncle Dave, and current tenants Leslie, Asa and Dwaine. Dave salvaged the timber from the original building and had planned to build the shelving. After his passing, the HomeGround community worked together to realise Dave’s dream.
Allen & Unwin will continue to work closely with Auckland City Mission and to upkeep and maintain Matatihi Whare Pukapuka.

Auckland Writers Festival programme launch
|
|
The Auckland Writers Festival has unveiled the full programme for its 23rd Festival, with 160 live events in Auckland over six days, 16 – 21 May 2023.
This year’s festival marks the first time in over three years that international authors will return in an all-live programme on-stage in central Auckland. The week-long celebration of books, authors and ideas will include ticketed and free events in the Aotea Centre and select venues across the city.
Festivalgoers will hear from outstanding fiction and non-fiction authors, musicians, scientists, artists, historians, innovators, and food and art critics from New Zealand and around the world. They’ll experience exclusive insights and debate on significant global issues – from climate change to gender identity, wild food foraging, Indigenous perspectives, the downsides of social media, breaking female sport stereotypes, and whether writers can be replaced by chatbots.
This year, double-Pulitzer Prize winning author Colson Whitehead will join us from New York City, alongside three Booker Prize winners, Eleanor Catton, Bernardine Evaristo, and the latest winner, Shehan Karunatilaka. The current TS Eliot prize winner and acclaimed London-based musician Anthony Joseph will round out this star studded literary collective.
From Los Angeles, the most talked about novelist of the year, Gabrielle Zevin will make her New Zealand debut with her mega-bestseller Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, alongside Việt Nam’s most prolific and award-winning writer Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai, and New York Times bestseller Pip Williams.

Temporary replacement for Vic Books

Stuff reports:

Internet Archive ruling in favour of publishers
|
|
|
Publishing Perspective reports:
A US court has ruled in favour of publishers in the case against the Internet Archive, which Publishing Perspectives describes as a a major win for authors as well as publishers, and for workers in associated creative industries, who have watched the case closely for the better part of three years.
“The publishers have established a prima facie case of copyright infringement,” writes Judge John G. Koeltl of the United States district court in the Southern District of New York in his 47-page decision, which includes a firm rebuke to the controversial concept of “controlled digital lending.”
Near his decision’s conclusion, Koeltl writes, “Internet Archive cannot offset the harm it inflicts on the publishers’ library ebook revenues … by pointing to other asserted benefits to the publishers in other markets. Nor could those asserted benefits tip the scales in favor of fair use when the other factors point so strongly against fair use.”
In that regard, Koeltl writes that the “Internet Archive’s fair-use defense rests on the notion that lawfully acquiring a copyrighted print book entitles the recipient to make an unauthorized copy and distribute it in place of the print book, so long as it does not simultaneously lend the print book. But no case or legal principle supports that notion. Every authority points [in] the other direction.”
Read the story in full, which includes discussion of the international reaction and implications of the case.
