__**Fiona**__: I live and work in Melbourne. I was appointed Teacher Librarian in my school at the start of this academic year. I was offered the position with the view to becoming qualified, and thus I have ended up doing my Masters online with CSU. History: I qualified from St. Patrick's College, Dublin in 1990. I love travelling. I taught for 2 years in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I took one year off to travel Australia in 1997. I finally immigrated here in February 2007. In January 2009, I moved to Gambia to work as a volunteer. I worked in a rural district training teachers. In 2010 I was appointed English leader Prep - 6 in my school, a role I continue to hold. I love teaching and working with Professional Learning teams. In Ireland we don't have TLs so I am finding my role as TL a huge learning curve. I love to learn and I love technology so am enjoying the process. Interests: I play Gaelic football and Touch rugby. Of course I love reading!!!! I love historical fiction or a good autobiography. Here is a photo of me with my sister on her wedding day at Lake Orta on July 22nd this year.

__**Kara**__ I live and work in the town I grew up in, a very small town in Riverina NSW. I am actually teaching at my old primary school. I began my appointment as a TL at the start of this year and am really enjoying it. Prior to this, I was the Kindergarten teacher at the same school for 2 years. My guilty pleasure at the moment is anything to do with weddings and wedding planning as I recently became engaged. For now however, the wedding planner has been deemed too much of a potential distraction and has been tucked away! It will not be seen until October! Below is a photo of my fiance and I which was taken at our recent engagement party.
