What's the best part about working in a library?
Be able to learn new things everyday!
What's your favorite book? What book character would you most like to be?
Life of Pi; I like to be Hermione in Harry Potter Series since she is beautiful and works hard, and she can use magic!
If you could have tea with someone dead or alive, who would it be?
My grandfather. He died before I was born but my mom said he is kind and gentle and he was expecting the birth of a new baby girl.
What's something people don't know about you that might surprise them?
I’m a tiny girl but I like to watch horror movies!
What's one thing you wish college students knew about using a library?
Don’t be afraid to ask for help! We as librarians are here for our students and we are willing to help them. But if they don’t open their mouths we don’t know their needs and we don’t know how to serve them. So come to the library (or use the online chat) and ask if you need help! We won’t bite you!
