Library news

Sad news from the library this month – our lovely Janet is off to greener pastures.  You can still catch her at Masterton Library where she now works but we poor souls will have to do without her.  My thanks to Janet for her years of working alongside me and all the massive work she has put into the Reading Programme, Book Babies and the Te Reo work she has done  – there are lots of children and adults who will miss her in our library.  All our best wishes go with you Janet.  … Continue Reading
