Queensland’s Favourite Librarian A lifelong love of books and reading has culminated in a prestigious award for a local Gordonvale mother who has been honoured as the state’s favourite librarian.
20-24 May. At a celebratory morning tea at the Library on Thursday 23, Trish received a floral bouquet and box of chocolates from Ms Kerrie Still, Manager Cairns Libraries.
Trish Richards, an employee of Cairns Regional Council, has worked with Cairns Libraries for six years, the last three years at Gordonvale Library.
As the State’s winner Trish receives a year’s membership and subscription to the professional journals of the Australian Library and Information Association.
In March Trish was nominated by an anonymous library customer and beat a strong pool of contenders to clinch the public-voted online poll. Trish said she has always loved reading from when she was at school to when she became a mother and would read to her children.
Gordonvale Library is located at 88 Norman Street Gordonvale and open is from 10am to 6pm Monday to Friday and on Saturday mornings from 9am-12 noon. Ph 4056 1365.
“I always came into the Gordonvale Library and I loved the atmosphere. The richest reward of working in a library was being part of a young reader’s journey through the world of the written word. In a close-knit rural community like Gordonvale, you get to see the customers and their children grow up and develop as readers. I love seeing the excitement on a child’s face when they find a book that interests them.” Trish was announced as Queensland’s winner of the inaugural Australia’s Favourite Librarian competition during Library and Information Week
