Hi, I'm Viv the new library shelver. My husband and I moved to Kaikoura at the end of February and we are building a new home in South Bay. I have had an awesome career in customer service in the banking and aviation sectors. I am really excited about my new role and am looking forward to meeting our valued library customers and serving the Kaikoura community.
