At the age of seven she determined to become a librarian and on leaving school took up a junior position in the local municipal library. Alternative careers beckoned and she moved into Fleet Street working in the picture library of a London newspaper. Next came four years in advertising agencies and finally, a complete change - a trainee buyer of nightdresses for Marks and Spencer. Ros married writer Alan Collins in 1957 and became a 'ten pound Pom' - a British migrant to Australia. In Melbourne, after a pause of ten years raising three sons, Ros returned to the library world and for twenty years directed libraries in the college sector of the Victorian Education Department. She graduated from Monash University, completed a Diploma in Librarianship and qualified as a teacher. From 1987 to 2000 she was director of the Makor Jewish Community Library (now the Lamm Jewish Library of Australia). Subsequently, Ros worked at the Kadimah Library, cataloguing the major Yiddish collection in Australia. From 2012 she has concentrated on writing. Solly's Girl is her first book and Ros maintains a blog at www.alanandroscollins.wordpress.comver menos
