LIANZA is delighted to announce that application are now open for the Ada Fache Grant. Ada Fache (1918 – 1994) was a stalwart of the library profession. She started work as an assistant at Dunedin Public Library in 1937 and the majority of her career was at the library, culminating in her appointment as city librarian from 1960-68. She was the second woman to hold this position in a metropolitan library in New Zealand. Miss Fache's retirement at 50, prompted by a wish to make way for a new generation of librarians with professional qualifications, was typical of her generous approach. However her interest in the work of the association continued, and she regularly attending LIANZA Otago/Southland regional meetings and other library functions. In her will Miss Fache left the association a bequest of "one-twentieth of her estate for general purposes".
