The Times is recognising the many wonderful people in our local east Auckland community who go out of their way to help others with our regular Community Hero award.
If you know someone who’s doing amazing things in our community please email some information about them including their name, contact details if known, and a photo of them if possible, to chrish@times.co.nz.
The award is sponsored by New World Howick. Recipients will receive a $50 New World gift card and will be featured in our new digital publication and on our website.
This week’s recipient is Tina Brown.
She’s nominated by Claire Sciascia, who writes: “Tina has served the local community as a librarian for close to 30 years, first at Highland Park Library as children’s librarian and then at Pigeon Mountain Primary School.
“She’s an exceptional librarian with her huge knowledge of books as well as her enthusiasm, fun and creativity she has always gone above and beyond for anyone.
“Tina will be departing for sunnier shores (Beachlands) and finishing at Pigeon Mountain Primary School at the end of term.
“She has been adored by many, you can’t go anywhere locally without someone saying ‘hello Mrs Brown’.
“Thank you Tina on behalf of the community for giving so much. You will be missed.”
