  Producer / Presenter: Alison Fitzpatrick

  A science graduate and constant reader, Alison began her career as a chemist but soon emerged from the lab to join the wonderful world of humans and books. Now a seasoned librarian, Alison is a self-described ‘free radical’ and flâneur who plays Tai Chi and performs in a ukulele band. She’s an open-minded reader who enjoys sampling the latest fiction, with a particular penchant for a good crime novel.

  Presenter: Ineka Vogels

  Ineka loves a good yarn, a great read, and any coffee on offer. She’s found her happy place and hopefully her forever home in libraries, crediting her mum who spent the ‘80s dragging bags of books home from libraries and school fairs, four kids in tow. An unrepentant feminist and night owl, when Ineka’s not devouring a book, she’s happy dancing, singing and op-shopping (sometimes all at once).

  Presenter: Karen Craig

  Karen grew up in California, lived many years in Italy where she worked as a translator, before coming to New Zealand at the millennium and becoming a librarian. From a reading-obsessed family she likes all kinds of writing – fiction old and new from around the world, and non-fiction, especially memoirs, essays and travel writing. Besides writing and talking, not always about books, Karen watches movies, learns languages and savours travelling.
