Tim Jarvis of Fullers Bookshop, Hobart, has been appointed president, replacing Jane Seaton of Beaufort Street Books, Mount Lawley, while Jaye Chin-Dusting (Mary Martin, Melbourne) is new vice president and Mark Laurie (South Sea Books and Trading, Port Elliot) is new treasurer. Anna Low (Potts Point Bookshop, Sydney) has also joined the management committee.

Leaving the management committee are Jay Lansdown and Andrew Ritchie. ‘We thank them for their contributions,’ said BookPeople CEO Robbie Egan. ‘We also thank previous president Jane Seaton for her contribution over the past two years.
