Goodbye Jannelle

Last week the staff at Masterton Library had to say good bye to one of our long-serving staff members, Jannelle Preston-Searle. Jannelle has been with the library on and off for 16 years - the on and offs mostly being occasioned by the arrival of her three children: Charlie, Sadie and Oscar. Jannelle has been a valuable resource for the library and has had involvement in a range of activities including cataloguing, interloans and displays. We are particularly going to miss the contribution she made to the library through her artistic ability, but most of all we are going to miss her for the personal qualities she brought to the job and the enjoyment of working alongside her. Fortunately she hasn't gone too far - Greytown Library - and we hope that the continuing co-operation between the Wairarapa libraries will mean we will still be keeping in regular contact with her. All the best with the new job Jannelle and we look forward to hearing how you and your family are doing.
