Profile of Pembrokeshire Libraries Site Co-ordinator, Tracey Johnson
As Site Coordinator for Fishguard, Newport, Crymych and St Davids Libraries, Tracey Jonson is immensely proud to be supporting Pembrokeshire communities through the power of stories, learning and connection.
Based at Fishguard Library, she draws on her background in teaching and her passion for early literacy to help children discover the joy of reading and all the lifelong benefits that come with it.
Tracey said: “I’ve worked with Pembrokeshire Libraries for 18 years, and no two days are ever the same! I oversee the day-to-day running of four libraries, support our brilliant staff and volunteers, and manage The Last Invasion Tapestry Exhibition and our Art Gallery. I’m also part of the small team behind our Facebook page, helping share the fantastic things happening across our libraries.
“Children’s events are a big part of what I do; from Summer Reading Challenge stories and crafts, author visits, escape rooms, Harry Potter nights, petting zoos, and even Diary of a Wimpy Kid and James and the Giant Peach-themed experiences. I love working closely with local schools to create moments that spark imagination and make reading irresistible.

“My job is incredibly rewarding because I get to make a positive difference in people’s lives every day, even if the challenges of limited public funding keep us on our toes. But seeing our communities come together, learn, laugh, and grow makes it all worthwhile.”
