Meet our new 'night administrator !'

Most staff members should know Vaunett Neil by now. Since November of last year, Vaunett Neil has been given the responsibility to oversee the operations of the 10pm to 6am shift during the week. Last year we introduced the then night librarian, Kareen Bourne, on the blog and so we are doing the same for our not so new night administrator (my title!). So for those individuals who don't know her that well, or even those who do, you may just learn something new about this multifacted individual.
