Kia ora

My name is Sam and I have the wonderful opportunity to be the recipient of the Peter Pal sponsorship to attend the PLNZ forum. My library career is just at its beginning though it has been filled with incredible opportunities already.

In my current role which I started in October 2023, I am Hauraki District Libraries’ first cadet. This includes studying a Diploma in Library and Information Studies, as well as working on the frontline in the libraries and leading various projects, all under the watchful eye of more senior staff.

Before the Cadetship role I was employed as a part-time Casual, and before that I was a volunteer who came in twice a week to put the children’s books away.
