Stephanie H. S. Wu is a freelance writer from Hong Kong. From a young age she has developed an appreciation for literature and a lasting interest in the humanities. She has built a personal brand through blogging and specialises in photography, design, and writing. She has become a corporate ambassador and social media promoter for multiple companies and has had her creative work publicly endorsed by a television series. Stephanie is currently expanding her portfolio to reach other creative industries and has plans to start an ecommerce business. Andrew J. Stark is an Associate Dean and Head of Libraries and Information Services at The Southport School, an independent Anglican School for boys, on Queensland's Gold Coast, Australia. For the last ten years, he has been directly involved with developing and promoting library services within independent schools and the broader community. He has completed extensive research into the value of creating positive learning and teaching spaces for all members of the school community. Andrew recognises that the modern librarian requires skills far beyond that of literary expert and research assistant. The contemporary library context now requires public relations experts who can coordinate open, democratic spaces while managing the plethora of available ICTs and text-types, thus enabling students, staff, and parents to make sense of what is on offer in the 21st century library. Andrew is also a member of the Human Research Ethics Committee at Bond University, Gold Coast, Australia. Bradley Allard is currently a Reference and Outreach Librarian at the Clark County Public Library in Winchester, Kentucky, USA. He received an MLIS degree from the University of Kentucky, an MA in the Japanese language and literature from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and a BA in English literature from the University of Kentucky. He has also spent extensive time studying in Japan as an exchange student at the International Christian University and the University of Tsukuba. His research interests focus on multicultural services in public libraries, outreach services to prisoners, and international librarianship.
