Abstract

Susan Mapleson, the Senior Teacher Librarian at Christian College, Geelong describes the challenges she and her team have faced in recent years - the Senior Library was flooded twice and then in May 2018 the Library and Administration building were destroyed by fire. While this experience is not something that you are ever prepared for, the good news is that there were many positives that came out of the rebuilding of a new library.
