Kia ora koutou,

In order to support the Library in raising it’s profile and promoting collections, services and staff, we have the Library Marketing Team. The group has recently undergone a bit of a change to be able to have clearly defined roles and responsibilities that help to create a more seamless whole. If you ever wanted to know the different areas we cover, these are below.

We are also seeking an EOI for the two remaining unfulfilled roles. If you think either of these sound like you and are interested in working with a great bunch of people and developing a wider understanding of the Library’s platforms and engagement spaces and have spoken to your Manager,  contact Rā.
