A fond farewell was said to Helen Leech at the January committee meeting. Helen was presented with a bouquet by Steve Holland, KILN Chair.

Helen has been an invaluable member of KILN for some years and has served both as a committee member and Chair. She will be greatly missed for her expertise; particularly regarding the website, for her enthusiasm, and .......for being Helen!

We wish Helen all the best in her new appointment as the Virtual Content Manager for Surrey Libraries.

Adverts for several staff will be going out soon - for a permanent Senior Librarian at Swiss Cottage to lead on Information and Reference services (replacing Gulanar Peake, who is retiring), plus a variety of p/t and f/t Librarian, Library Manager, and Library Services Assistant posts, all temporary for up to 9 months.

Ads will appear in the Camden website www.camden.gov.uk, Guardian online http://jobs.guardian.co.uk/ and library assistants in Fish4Jobs http://www.fish4.co.uk/iad/jobs.
