Museum Staff
Libby Magnusson has worked at the Museum since March 2007.
Her job is meeting and greeting the many visitors to the Russell Museum who are keen to gather more information on relatives as well as the history of the area. As several books are produced here, she is interested in helping with the involvement of updating material and creating new booklets or pamphlets.
Libby's schooling took place in Auckland then to Business College and onto her first job with a Share
Broking firm, various clerical positions followed. Marriage, to Bob, took them round New Zealand, family life evolved, and children's team sport. She still found plenty of time for her own sporting interests, tennis, swimming and netball. Some of her other activities have been in the teaching of swimming and keep-fit for special needs people.
Now her particular interests are gardening, walking, painting, reading and some club activities.
She enjoys the atmosphere of Russell and plans to assist the museum with her administration skills, her friendly out-going nature and a little knowledge of Russell.
