Who wants to be a librarian? To go to work and to be paid to sit and read all day. Andrew thought that this seemed like an ideal job, but little did he know... Come on an adventure and hear the real stories from behind the Circulation Desk from a renowned storyteller.
 
Be amazed! By the complexity of what is ‘Library work’
Be astounded! By the range of services
Be captivated! By entertaining stories both true and fictional
Be confused! By the things that people ask
Be empowered! To write, create and to read out loud
Be scared! By the scariest story in the world (if time permits)
 
With over 34 years of working in Local Government and Libraries, Andrew has a unique insight into the evolution of public library services in NSW. Andrew has worked in all specialised library roles and has been involved in some of the largest events and programs in Australian public libraries. As a storyteller, he has captivated over 54,000 children at numerous schools, theatres and in storytime sessions in the country and in the city. Andrew has given talks at the State Library of NSW on a variety of topics and has even spoken at the Annual Day Carers Conference. Once upon a time, an avid listener to ABC Radio called to advise that Andrew was nearly the cause of a serious motor vehicle accident due to the driver laughing so hard during an interview.
 
Living nearby, Andrew is now the Wingecarribee Library Coordinator. He is a father of four cheeky boys, a husband to a beautiful and understanding wife and a walking buddy to their very pretty King Charles Cavalier called Charlie ‘Prince of Sands’.
