SCHOOL LIBRARY STAFF

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This site was conceived, developed and launched in August 1999 by Amanda Credaro, who has continued to maintain it since its inception a decade ago. In recent months, time constraints have resulted in a somewhat sporadic maintainance schedule, but a wide-ranging search for someone to take over this facility has not been successful, most likely because it is without financial renumeration.

In addition, Yahoo!Geocities, who host this site, have now announced they are ceasing operations shortly. Therefore, no more registrations will be accepted nor details amended.

Those who have their details already available in the database might consider contacting one of their local specialist library employment agencies that offer casual and relief employment. Wishing you all the very best for the future,
