Rosalie Blake - QSM

Queens Service's medal - Rosalie Helen Blake, Levin, for services to the library profession. Congratulations Rosalie Well deserved :-)
Believing in a tiny project that started at the Levin Library and ended up in libraries in India, France, and further, has earned retired librarian Rosalie Blake a Queen's Service Medal.
She has been a leader in libraries in the Horowhenua district for almost 30 years, but it was for her foresight with the software that libraries run on that she has been recognised. Ms Blake assisted with the development of KOHA, a system using open source software which was picked up by more than 1000 libraries and institutions.
She has been a strong supporter of library trusts, and a representative on district council committees.
