WHELF is delighted to welcome two new members, initially on an ex-officio basis.
Welsh Government is represented by Helen Blockwell, Head of Library Services. Helen previously worked at Cardiff Metropolitan University library for 18 years and is familiar with WHELF and HE libraries.
FE libraries in Wales are represented by Jo Mather, Head of Library Services at NPTC Group of Colleges, and based at Neath College.
Jo says: “We already have good links with our HE partner libraries in USW, UWTSD and Wrexham through HE in FE: Welsh Collaboration in Action. I’m looking forward to joining you, finding out about the work you’re all doing, and looking for ways for FE to further collaborate with HE.”
Helen and Jo will attend their first WHELF Board meeting on 4th July 2025.
