All Library staff are invited to join the newly launched UC Admin Plus This was formerly known as COPA (Community of Practice of Administrators) but has spread its wings to include all UC non-teaching staff who wish to liaise with colleagues on regular occasions over the year.

The launch took place over a light lunch last week with guest speaker, Linda Cruise – a former nurse, stress management trainer, author, magician and now Senior Fellow of the University of Canterbury. The extremely positive feedback suggests future events could be well worth attending. The next one is planned for April. If you would like to be added to the email list to receive further information, please contact: catherine.woods@canterbury.ac.nz

Dear everyone,

I can’t begin to thank you all enough for the kindness and generosity you have shown on my leaving the Library after 25 years. I have been so fortunate in so many ways, not least of all working with such incredibly fantastic people. Thank you all so much for the beautiful gifts from Form Gallery (my favourite shop), the vouchers, and the books, especially the gardening book – getting food crops in is suddenly very important! I am really looking forward to having a good break, and then thinking about future directions next year. It has been a difficult time for all of us, and I wish you all the very best in whatever lies ahead. The Library will always hold a special place in my heart, and especially the people – the friends I have made, and the sense of family that made the Library such a great place to work. You can all hold your heads up high with what you have achieved, and the commitment and the passion that you have showed for your work. I have been privileged to have been part of it all, and very privileged indeed to have worked closely with so many of you over the years. Thank you again, and I look forward to keeping in touch. Kia kaha.

An email from a journal publisher in Wellington brings this cheering bit of news: “Our workplace had a cake stall a couple of weeks ago to raise funds for Christchurch – it was a lot of fun and we raised about $1200 which we sent to the school that had their stuff taken. I guess the whole of Wellington is feeling it could so easily be us”. Aren’t people kind.
