A new face for the New Year






There have been some organisational changes at the Library recently, following the departure of Mary Hill for pastures new at the Christie. To help integrate the library team with the educational and organisational development strategy, we now come under the line management of the new Learning and Development Manager, Judy Haykin.

We look forward to working with Judy, continuing the offer the same core set of services and seeing how we can develop our services at this exciting stage of the Trust’s development.
