A Quick Five Focus on...

Sharyn

Sharyn

  • I've worked here at Tawa for nearly 2 years
  • When I'm not at work I like to shop!
  • My favourite book at the moment is New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
  • If I were a book/film character I would be Alice Cullen
  • My least favourite area to shelve in the library is the Young Adult Graphic Novels section
