If you’ve visited the Yea Library recently, chances are you’ve met our Library and Customer Service Team Leader, Lee.
If you haven’t, here’s what you need to know!
With a background in teaching and educational publishing, Lee has always had a passion for helping others. After moving from Melbourne, she’s loving life in the country and the chance to connect with the local community in her role. Her career has taken her from classrooms to mentoring staff and supporting preservice teachers, giving her a wealth of experience she now brings to the library.
“No day is the same,” says Lee. “I really enjoy helping people, running programs, and working with a great team. One of the best parts of my day is chatting with customers about books and helping them find their next read.”
Lee and the team at Yea Library do much more than lend books – they also assist with Council enquiries, digital literacy, community programs and even manage local facility and community bus bookings.
When she’s not at work, Lee enjoys the peaceful surroundings and strong community spirit of Murrindindi Shire. “I love waking up to the sound of birds and being able to walk to work,” she says.
Next time you pop into the Yea Library, be sure to say hello!
