Editor's Notes
- #2: Good evening everyone and welcome. My name is Joann Ransom and I work for Horowhenua Library Trust, which manages Levin, Shannon and Foxton libraries. Our total District comprises 30,000 people, 3 service towns in a large rural hinterland, and a bunch of small beach communities. We started Kete about 2 years ago, and I am absolutely delighted to be here to talk about the work we have been doing with our community. Before we begin would be really helpful to have a quick whip around saying your name, your organisation and what you hope to gain from today.
