Rachel Fisher says Te Tōtara “gave me a framework to work off rather than my own self-created framework. And if everyone has the same framework, then expectations are clear. People have a clear pathway to grow.”
Hamilton
“A critical point for me was to develop a business-as-usual development culture. It means that staff could start seeing work in libraries not just as a job, but as a career.”
Sarah Corbet, Hamilton City Libraries
