Meet the library staff

Leave a comment

There are a few more people around the library at the moment and we thought it might be a good time to introduce the staff in here and what we are working on.  Those with access to the office are welcome to call in at any time to chat with the staff.  If you aren’t within visiting distance you can email the library at library@drugarm.com.au or contact one of us via the details below.

Each member of the library staff is able to help you with any of the enquiries that you have, be it a short “yes” or “no” question, or a more detailed reference search.  We also can help with loaning, reserving, extending and returning materials, as well as signing you up for membership.  However, each of us has different work projects, skills and areas of interest, which may be relevant to where you want to direct your enquiry.
