I didn’t know Julie well but working at Central Library met her often - she was one of those people who always seemed to know the how, who, what and where. It was my good fortune that she was always happy to share what she knew. She was also unfailingly kind, empathetic and supportive. I think she treated everyone with the same generosity of spirit, be they friends, co-workers or random people on the no 6 bus that we sometimes shared. The world needs more Julies, more of her kindness, laughter and irrepressible good humour. More silly hats wouldn’t hurt either. Julie, you were an example to us all. Rest in Peace.
