Introduction	I work for the National Library of New Zealand, as the Adviser for New Schools. I liaise with the Ministry of Education, architects and Establishment Boards to design schools, with responsibility for the library. I also work with staff to set up and open the library, including purchasing the initial collection, which is great fun. I'm seriously addicted to books and reading - I have more than twenty books beside my bed, all begging to be devoured. I'm also raising a reader - our son is 2 years old, and got his library card at 10 days old!
Interests	Reading, musical theatre, collecting books, reading, introducing our son to the wonders of the world that books contain...
Favorite Movies	Diva, Ladyhawke, Thelma and Louise, Monsters Inc, Shrek.
Favorite Music	Everything by Bonnie Raitt, Lyle Lovett, Everything but the girl, Marc Cohn, and of course Kiwi music rocks!
Favorite Books	Current favourites are 'Little brother', 'Before I die' 'Nick & Nora's infinite playlist', 'City of bones'. I can't wait to read Rory 'Toys go out: being the adventures of a knowledgeable Stingray, a toughy little Buffalo, and someone called Plastic' by Emily Jenkins - it's just enchanting.
