Library News
We are happy to welcome Anne Summerhays, our new Library Clerk, to our NSCECE team! Anne has worked in several domains, including childcare, agricultural business administration, and public health, but through it all, nothing has brought her more joy than connecting with her community and using her skills to support others’ growth and empowerment. Anne has a Master of Information from Dalhousie, a passion for information literacy and instruction, and a love of all things creative, be it music, crafts, writing, or any other artistic endeavour.
