Joanna Ludbrook – Librarian

Ko Joanna Ludbrook taku ingoa.

I’m a qualified Librarian, and have run the Library at Houghton Valley School for 10 years.My role is to encourage students to read for pleasure as well as to teach library skills and the use of resources for their inquiries. This involves a bit of ingenuity, a wardrobe of ‘dress-ups’, a sense of fun, and sometimes, chocolate!Outside of school hours I love working in my garden, playing with grandchildren (around the world), travelling, and reading of course.
