Clare Forrest

I am the library manager at Raroa Normal Intermediate in Wellington and am lucky enough to have been there since 2006. Before learning about the wonders of school libraries I had a number of career incarnations; as a nurse and a science technician.

Working in a school library with students and staff, helping to develop the best possible service for them and being part of the exciting changes happening to libraries as technologies advance, is by far my favourite so far!

I have been a member of SLANZA since I started in the library as I am a strong believer in the collegiality and support that our professional organisation provides us. I have learnt so much from the people I have come in contact with thanks to SLANZA connections, meetings and conferences and am keen to contribute in whatever way I can to the important role SLANZA plays in our profession.
