This means I doall of the general jobsof issues,informationqueries, returns, shelving,and filling in for other staffupstairs where I can. Ihave a Bachelor in VisualArt & Design (which hasoccasionally come in handy at work – designing theoriginal ‘SMART Libraries’ ID card and the odd posteror flyer for library events) and a Diploma in Library andInformation Studies, having studied part time whilstworking here.I also have several specific areas of work. Ikeep track of overdue accounts, which means thatif you have not managed to return an item on time,you may hear my cheery voice at the other end of thephone – checking that all is well and giving you a gentlereminder before we post out a final letter chargingfor the item. I process the weekly consignment ofnew magazines, (as well as keeping the magazinecollection tidy and up-to-date), and I select and issueitems fortnightly for 5 of our homebound borrowersI have a good head for figures, so I enjoygenerating and collating the monthly statistics reportsfor the library. These enable staff that buy items forthe different collections in the library to see how wellitems are issuing, and tailor their buying to suit thespecific needs of Masterton borrowers.
Masterton District LibraryFrom your Library.What’s Happening in the ContainerBeside the Library?Since the Maker Crate was sited beside thelibrary, Masterton people have been popping their headsaround the door to ask what’s going on. Maker Crates,and the designers and crafts people who use them,are part of the ‘maker movement’, an umbrella termfor independent inventors, designers and tinkerers.Makers tap into an admiration for self-reliance andcombine that with open-source learning, contemporarydesign, and powerful personal technology like 3-Dprinters to produce creations.Why is the Library Involved?Maker Spaces have been sited in Librariesaround the world and the Fab Lab Trust and MastertonLibrary worked together to achieve this here inMasterton. This enables open community access andtakes advantage of the infrastructure and knowledgebase already available in public libraries.Shelf LifeLibrary Manager, Sandy GreenWhat’s in the Maker Crate?3 X 3D printers, a laser cutter and a vinyl cutteralong with several computers to send the designs fromthe software to the machines. We also have a computerfor demonstrating simple coding.What Have We Been Doing So Far?We ran holiday programme sessions forConnecting Communities, made items to specificationsfor those with requests, and we run demonstrationson request and provide an open session each day forwalk-in people. To have a demonstration, workshop ormake contact with our ‘makers’ in the Maker Crate callin to one of the open sessions (Monday to Thursday3.15 – 5.15pm and Friday 10.00am – 12.00pm) or call3706258 or 3706263 to book a session.A big thank you to all those supporting theestablishment of the Maker Crate in Masterton. Wehope that the Maker Crate will be available for up to ayear depending on funding and resourcing.The images below show components made out of MDF in the Maker Crate and their assembly into a Eiffel Sphere.March 2016 Page 3

From The Wairarapa Archive.Masterton District LibraryShelf LifeThe discipline of history has changed from the detailed study of the lives of the rich andpowerful to a more inclusive “social history”, that examines ordinary lives. Among the manysources historians now value are recipe books, especially manuscript editions, created andmaintained by families, often in a multi-generational manner. These recipe books are oftena mix of handwritten recipes (usually passed down through a family), printed recipes clippedfrom newspapers and magazines, and clippings of household hints. The handwritten recipes areespecially interesting to historians, as they record the changing fashions of cuisine, allowingresearchers to see the changes in the way we eat.These recipe books present another kind of challenge for archivists. As well as seeing therecipes you can also taste them – recipe books were kept in the kitchen, and pulled out when thebaking was done, so there are butter smears and a delicate veneer of flour to contend with as well.Recipe books offer a unique insight into an aspect of our social history that remains invisible toany other investigation.A well-thumbedpage fromMargaretAndrew’scook book,part of thecollection atthe WairarapaArchive.March 2016 Page 7

Masterton District LibraryShelf LifeSPYDUS Event ManagementMasterton Library will soon be adding a newfeature to our website - Event Management. EventManagement has been developed by Spydus, thecompany who created the Library ManagementSystem we use here at Masterton Library. EventManagement provides easy to access informationon events and programmes being run by the Libraryand we will also be using it to promote activities beingorganised by the Masterton District Council.Thumbnail descriptions of upcoming eventsare displayed by Event Management, but it is alsopossible to search for events by keyword or by whatevents are on at a certain date. Great, for example,for finding out what events and activities are takingplace at the Library during the school holidays. It is alsopossible to look at the Calendar view to find out all theactivities planned for a particular month.Event Management will make learning aboutLibrary and Council activities much easier for Mastertonresidents, and make it easier for them to participate inevents. For activities that require registration (if placesare limited or some indication of the likely number ofparticipants is needed for planning reasons) this canbe done online through Event Management. We alsoenvisage that in the future we may be able to allowMasterton organisations, groups and businesses totake advantage of Event Management for promotingand managing their own events.Seniors CelebrateTuesday 22nd of March, 2:00pmBrandy Scott is a New Zealand authorand journalist.

Shelf LifeMasterton District LibraryBefore They Were Famous.Very few authors have immediately successful writing careers and many have had jobs and evenestablished careers before attaining success as writers. Sometimes these would appear to haveinfluenced their writing, but in other cases the link can seem quite incongruous. Here are the earlier occupations of 10 well-known authors whose books can be found here at the Library.Stephen King - JanitorKing is one of the world’s best-selling authors, hisbooks having sold more than 350 million copies.Things were not always so successful however and fora while he worked as a high school janitor, althoughhis experiences in this job were apparently part of theinspiration for his first novel Carrie. King threw his firstdraft of the story in the rubbish but his wife Tabitharetrieved it and told him to keep going because shewanted to know how it ended.Harper Lee - Airline Reservations AttendantAfter dropping out of a law degree and shifting fromAlabama to New York to pursue a career as a writer,Harper Lee paid her way working as a reservationclerk for Eastern Airlines and BOAC. In 1956 Broadwaycomposer and lyricist Michael Brown gave her ayear’s wages as a Christmas present and told hershe had one year off to write whatever she wanted.One year later she handed in the first draft of To KillA Mockingbird.Agatha Christie - Apothecaries’ AssistantAgatha Christie was born into a wealthy upper-middleclass family but during World War One she joined theVoluntary Aid Detachment attending to injured troopsat a military hospital in Devon. During this time sheattained the position of apothecaries’ assistant,qualifying her to dispense medicines and receive anannual salary of 16. She was able to draw on herknowledge of pharmaceuticals in many of her novels.Nicholas Sparks - Dental Products SalesmanAfter graduating from college where he majoredin Business Finance, Nicholas Sparks tried toget into publishing and into Law School, but wasrejected from both. Before writing his breakthroughnovel The Notebook, Sparks worked a number ofodd jobs including real estate appraisal, his ownmanufacturing business, and selling dental productsover the telephone.StephenKingHarperLeePage 10 March KinsellaSir ArthurConan DoyleZaneGreyHillaryMantelCharlesDickens
Masterton District LibraryShelf LifeDouglas Adams - BodyguardAfter leaving University Douglas Adams tried todevelop a career as a writer for TV and radio. Hehad some early success including writing for MontyPython, but the work dried up and Adams took on anumber of jobs to make ends meet before his writingcareer was revived with The Hitchhikers Guide to theGalaxy. These included hospital porter, barn builder,chicken shed cleaner, hotel security guard, and for atime, bodyguard to a family of oil tycoons from Qatar.Sophie Kinsella - Financial JournalistSophie Kinsella, the pen-name of Madeline Wickham,worked as a financial journalist before finding successwith the popular Confessions of a Shopaholic series.Although the heroine of the Shopaholic books hasthe same career, Kinsella admits to finding the jobuninspiring, and wrote her first novel Tennis Partyat night and during what she confessed to be “thelongest lunch hours known to mankind.”Arthur Conan Doyle - SurgeonAfter completing medical school at the University ofEdinburgh Conan Doyle served as a ship’s surgeonbefore establishing a medical practice in Hampshire.This was initially unsuccessful and Conan Doyle passedthe time between patients writing stories. He thenstudied ophthalmology and established a practice inLondon but after initial struggles to get published hisshort story A Study in Scarlet received good reviewsand the legend of Sherlock Holmes was born.Zane Grey - DentistZane Grey studied dentistry at the University ofPennsylvania, which he attended on a baseballscholarship. Grey continued to enjoy baseball, evenplaying one major league game for the PittsburghPirates in 1903. Dentistry however he came to detest.When he married his wife Dolly he closed his dentalpractice to concentrate on his writing, the coupleliving (along with her sister and mother), off Dolly’sinheritance until Grey’s writing career flourished.Hilary Mantel - Social WorkerHillary Mantel won the Man Booker Prize for Wolf Hall,and for its sequel Bring Up the Bodies. Prior to herhighly successful writing career, Mantel studied at theLondon School of Economics before transferring tothe University of Sheffield where she graduated witha Bachelor of Jurisprudence degree. She then workedas a social worker in a geriatric hospital and as a salesassistant in a department store before her writingcareer took off.Charles Dickens - Factory WorkerBefore becoming a celebrated novelist, CharlesDickens worked as a freelance journalist and legalclerk. Before this, however, a 12-year-old Dickensworked 10 hours a day in a factory pasting labels on topots of boot polish. Dickens had to work there in orderto pay off debt and get his father out of jail. It wouldseem that this experience had a profound effect onDickens’ later work, he even reported that one of theboys he worked alongside was called Bob Fagin.March 2016 Page 11
