Hi all

We are pleased to welcome Sarah Fraser and Annie O”Brien to the casual team. Both have been students here reasonably recently and share our enthusiasm for libraries. We completed their induction last week, and you may have seen them at your library. Next they will be undertaking their ‘buddy’ shift at Central library this week, and then will be available on the pool. Please make them welcome when they are in your library, especially for the first time.

Many thanks
Isabel

Hi

Today we welcomed Josh Agnew as a work experience volunteer at Central Library. He will be with us Monday-Friday from 9am-1pm undertaking a range of tasks and gaining an overview of library assistant tasks and how a library works. Please make him welcome, particularly in the tea room.

Thanks
Isabel

There is an all-Liaison-team meeting on Friday 12th September, 2-3pm at Education Library. There will be a no liaison referral service from 1.30pm as most will be travelling to the meeting, however I am anticipating that some Liaisons will log back to AskLive after 3.00pm. Please use email to refer any issues to the liaisons during this period.
Thanks
Isabel

Hi

Sara has advised that she and Theresa are away today and tomorrow (back Friday) at the Law Liaisons Symposium in Wellington. John Arnold will pick up any pressing questions from law students until they return, so please refer them to him. Thanks John!

Hi all

The customer services teams across the libraries are planning a number of low key events to celebrate this day with the students. You will see some flowers, lollies, inspirational quotes and other acts of kindness that we can pass on during the day.

It would also be great if this day could be enjoyed amongst the library teams, so feel free to put your thinking hats on and share with your colleagues.

Regards
Isabel
