From the President
Touch, Pause, Engage Kia Ora Koutou Katoa A stint playing tour guide recently during Rugby World Cup activities in Wellington brought some surprises. A chance to share my passion for libraries and information management with Irish fans who included some librarians from Dublin and County Cork. And French tourists who were surprised to have the “City Librarian” as their tour guide and decided to call me "Madame Bibliotheque". From the Editor
Feel Inspired! Every fortnight, I am totally impressed by the effort that the Library Life writing team put into their articles that are written for you, their peers. They do an amazing job of writing thought-worthy pieces for us, and I feel each of them (Claire, Michelle, Debbie, Donna, Sally, Kim, Sean and Robert - have I missed anyone??) deserve some feed back from us. Comments on feature articles are now activated so please feel free to give them (and us, and everyone else) your thoughts. From the National Librarian
Greetings It’s five months since I was appointed National Librarian. And what a five months! It’s been a period of almost non-stop change: for the National Library, the wider Department of Internal Affairs (DIA), the public service and indeed, the entire GLAM sector. From the President-Elect
A Day In The Life Of The LIANZA Office One of my roles as President Elect this year is to oversee and offer support to our team in the Office. As part of this I spent a day in Wellington last week to get an idea of what people are working on, the various roles and responsibilities and also to work out if there is anything I need to be helping out with or considering.
