The Point Wells Library committee recently held a farewell afternoon tea for Margaret Whitmore to thank her for her hard work over 25 years.
Margaret and husband Brett were also thanked for choosing the library as the beneficiary of Bayleys’ agent Jodie Sterling’s $1000 donation from the sale of their house.
The couple returned to the area in 1996 after Brett’s retirement, while Margaret continued to work for Westpac in Wellsford before her retirement in 1998.
She became a volunteer at the Point Wells library, which had 43 members at the time, and was instrumental in introducing the Dewey Decimal book classification system.
She formed the committee which ensured the retention of the library as a community asset, enjoyed today by almost 900 individual members.
After 28 years living in Point Wells and contributing invaluable hard work on behalf of the Point Wells community, Margaret and Brett are returning to Hamilton.
