    Liz Derouet has been an inspiration to not only the patrons of Toowoomba Regional Library and the local schools, but also to our pre-service teachers at the University of Southern Queensland. Liz has willingly helped our pre-service teachers be inspired about everything to do with literature by helping them with their many queries when they visit the council library, giving guest lectures about children's literature at the uni, and inspiring them by tutoring into our literature courses. Well done, Liz. A great community/university partnership, inspired by Liz's generosity and passion for literature and children.

  • Cherrell Picton - 13 years ago

    Can someone please tell me where the nomination form is for this?
    I would like to nominate Karen Gawen from Maroochydore Library.
    Karen has set up a program for young adults with an interest in art and craft, to help build their business skills in this area with a view to developing their love of craft into a full time business.
    As a result of Karen's program my 12 year old daughter turned her love of making fairy houses into a business, Enchanted Fairy Houses. Further building on this, this 12 year old is now a published author of a craft book, How to Make fairy Houses. Her book was published and printed by an Australian company and profits have remained in Australia. Having received her first royalty cheque recently, 10% went to her chosen charity The Children''s Hospital Foundations Australia, her chosen charity. tTis is just one of the success stories from Karen's program, there have been many more.

    Francine captures the imagination of both my girls when we attend her story time sessions. She is full of energy, vibrant and brings the books she reads and songs she sings to life. You only have to look at the children's faces light up when she enters the room to know that she is a fantastic person to bring the joy of reading to life. Thank you for your outstanding efforts in promoting literacy to our children.

    There is an error when sharing the link on facebook in that it automatically promotes one person, rather than just the page or the person that I want to promote....

  • Jenny Campbell - 13 years ago

  • Anne Archbold - 13 years ago

    Liz is genuinely enthusiastic about encouraging young people to develop a love of books and reading. Her approach is warm, inclusive and innovative.

  • Kate Kelleher - 13 years ago

    I have known Linda Abblitt for over 30 years. I have worked with her and as her boss when she would work for a year and then take a year's leave without pay to go and work 'gratis' in some poorer nation of the world. Come back again to save up and go again.
    She has amazed me as she has gone to remote Aussie places but mostly on foreign soil,transforming or establishing libraries around the world. Even her journey in gaining her librarian qualification is noteworthy. Linda has managed to achieve all this through periods of health challenges and self-supporting. She comes from a strong stock of missionaries and her life has certainly exemplifies service for others.

  • Kate - 13 years ago

    Go Liz!!
    You rock!
    Xx

  • Julianna Green - 13 years ago

    Anna is the best- most community engaged, passionate Librarian I've ever met.

  • Naomi Prisgrove - 13 years ago

    Frank Flintoff is a remarkable young woman who gives everything she has to what she does. And does is brilliantly!

  • Lea Beer - 13 years ago

    I have worked at the Frankston Library with Glenn for over 10 years and have always found him to be an amazing librarian! His programs are astounding and very innovative, and he has boundless energy and enthusiasm when serving customers! Good Luck, Glenn!

    Go Sharon!!! Knowledgeable, very friendly and good for a laugh - she's my favourite!

  • Wende Carr - 13 years ago

    I've watched Linda transform libraries in Central Asia and the near and middle east, and I know she's done the same in Africa, and in places where I didn't work. She's amazing, tireless, and selfless. Kids love her, love libraries and love books & reading when Linda's librarian!! You couldn't ask for more or better!!

  • Linda Scott - 13 years ago

    Character it appears so lovely for a school librarian to make such an effort for the kids enjoyment.

  • Sandra Daly - 13 years ago

    Sue's the best!!!

  • Ian - 13 years ago

  • Hayley Shelby - 13 years ago

    Francine is sensational. She puts her heart and soul into every story time she des. My kids went to her story time for 5 years. If I missed a day there I thought we were missing out big time.

    Margaret Herbert gives 100% as a librarian, teacher & human being. She makes books & reading super fun & has the most beautiful nature with everybody! She certainly knows how to have a laugh & always makes book week an event not to be missed! Last year her debating team won the NSW State Championships & she was a brilliant mentor (& carer) for the kids while they were under her supervision! She also organises the kids to support a World Vision child, having mufti days to raise money for the sponsorship & sending cards/letters/school supplies to the appreciative young boy. You rock Mrs H & GPS loves you!

  • Tracie - 13 years ago

    Francine from City of South Perth is the best. The kids adore her and she gives if herself so freely to young and old alike. She has inspired many children at the local primary schools as well as running the best story time sessions. My children get super excited to see Francine both at the library and out and about and she always makes time to stop and chat and knows something special about each one of them. We are lucky to have such a wonderful person at our local library.

  • Robin Hempel, Convenor ALIA Retirees Group - 13 years ago

    Sharon is a goddess of the Dewey decimal system. Being more than a facilitator for learning and service, her role in the community is beyond words

  • Nick Bastow - 13 years ago

    Most library catalogues are an incomplete less user-friendly back up of what's already in Robyn Annear's brain.

  • Isabel - 13 years ago

    Margaret Herbert is a local primary school librarian and is someone who deserves to be recognised. She creates so much excitement and passion in her library. As you can see from her photo she takes book week to a whole new level, changing outfits at least twice. I have never met a librarian with her enthusiasm for the job and with so much willingness to help.
