Bradford,West Yorkshire

Summary

An approachable and warm individual with an enthusiasm and love for books and promoting their use. Working as a library volunteer gave me a safe space to escape the demands of final year university life. The ability to spend shifts organising and taking pride in how the books were presented is something I enjoyed and take pride in.

Collaborating effectively with library staff created a welcoming environment for customers and an enjoyable work environment for staff. I am committed to fostering a love for reading and supporting library and bookstore initiatives.
