Programme Co-ordinator

Olivia has a background in art history and arts administration, and has worked for places including The Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, The Royal Academy of Art in London and more recently, The Burton at Bideford art gallery and museum.

Passionate about art, craft and all things handmade (as well as books, of course), she is particularly interested in how art and creativity can build community, which she sees as vital in nurturing a healthier and more sustainable world. With a parallel career in the natural health and well-being industry, Olivia is excited about contributing to the important work that Libraries Unlimited do for the diverse communities they serve.
