National Library of New Zealand’s strategic direction: submission

Email from the National Library

Consultation closes in two weeks!

Don’t forget to have your say on the National Library of New Zealand’s strategic directions before 31 August.

Kia ora t?tou

You may recall that I wrote to you about a month ago to invite you to make submissions on the National Library’s draft strategic directions to 2030. The submission period closes on 31 August 2016 and I am really interested to know your thoughts on our ‘Positioning for the future’ consultation document.

The document can be viewed by visiting www.govt.nz/national-library-future and I encourage you to make a submission through the same website. If you would like to provide feedback via email please send it to natlibfuture@dia.govt.nz.

Our aspiration is to ensure that New Zealanders everywhere have easy access to knowledge, to engage everyone in reading for pleasure, and to contribute to a prosperous New Zealand that values words as part of our heritage. This is bigger than any one institution so we are looking to uncover areas of common strategic interest and to identify strong partnership opportunities for the future.

The findings from the consultation will feed into a final strategy towards the end of this year and form the basis for an action plan for implementation from 2017 onwards. Your contribution and collaboration could help shape the future direction of the National Library and keep our proposed initiatives aligned with your priorities.

If you have any questions about the consultation, again please email natlibfuture@dia.govt.nz.

Sorry that I missed this a month ago – we were travelling. If you use, or plan to use the National Library then make sure that your voice is heard via this submission process.

Trevlyn was born in Zimbabwe, grew up in South Africa and immigrated to Sydney, Australia, in 1999 where he met his wife, Susannah.
They are home educating their five children on a 7.5 acre property in beautiful Allens Rivulet (Tasmania), where they hobby farm a flock of close to 30 sheep, 14 chooks, 2 cats, a dog and a horse.

Trevlyn has served as an elder in the Presbyterian Church of Australia, preached at various churches in the Hobart area and organised practical theology conferences.

Trevlyn has written extensively about how to apply God’s Word to life.

He is also a founder of The Gospel Agenda (www.thegospelagenda.com.au), a local Tasmanian ministry that promotes the application of the gospel to the family, church and state. As Trevlyn is passionate about how the gospel (and the entire Word of God) is applied to every square inch of life and limits civil government to its sphere of sovereignty, he stood for the Family First Party in the Australian Federal electoral seat of Denison in 2013 http://www.mypolitician.com.au/federal/candidate/trevlyn-mccallum

Trevlyn has worked in managerial positions within some of Australia’s largest financial services companies. He currently works as a financial adviser for a local Hobart small business. Trevlyn has completed financial planning studies and a postgraduate degree in international business. He has studied practical theology; in particular Biblical economics, family worship, apologetics, politics and the Bible, ethics/morality and history.

Trevlyn and Susannah are passionate about applying God’s Word to all of life and are trying to build a multi-generational vision of faithfulness for their children and grandchildren.
