I have spent many happy years in the LPS library (in its various forms) and feel privileged to care for our dedicated space and the amazing resources contained within. After teaching secondary English for a number of years both in New Zealand and Scotland, the move to Christchurch from Tauranga meant a new chapter for my family.

My two children are determinedly training in their respective chosen dance forms in different parts of the world and my husband and I enjoy the endless jobs that need to be done on our lifestyle block near Tai Tapu.

Needless to say, a perfect afternoon for me is spent with a hot chocolate and a great book! I also love to cook and enjoy walking a few kilometres every day.

“Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.”
