In this role, I also have the opportunity to assist and guide students and researchers, whether at a library location or within a faculty setting. While there are busier periods, I enjoy engaging with students and researchers on various topics. We often teach technical subjects, such as how to use a specific tool or navigate a complex database. I have found that framing these topics through storytelling makes them more approachable. Personally, I really enjoy this aspect, as it allows me to connect with others and share knowledge in a way that feels engaging.

One of the first impressions that stood out to me about the library was that, from the outside, the Inner City Library building may appear to be typical historic structures, but inside, they are vibrant spaces filled with activity, innovation, and knowledge-sharing. The contrast between the traditional exteriors and the modern academic needs creates a unique and inspiring working environment.
