Firstly I would like to point out that library work is not simply just scanning and stamping books; there is so much more going on behind the scenes. I have experienced most of the major parts that make up the library system and can safely say that without the work of everyone it would not run successfully.

All of the staff are caring people who work hard to make it easier for you, such as organising the books (I've done a lot of this) so that you can find them quickly, making requests for the books you want and they don't have; this is harder than you might think, and sorting out the books and reservations to make it all presentable and generally better for you.

The branches of the library have their own character and best points and are overall more personal than the main central library, catering for all your needs. And the mobile library can be hard work at times, but is a great trip out but you do still have to work!

Overall I would recommend work experience at the library to anyone who is interested in this career or if you are just interested in books; and if you don't, still come to see what it is about!

A library is not just a building with books; it is so much more!

Thank you to all the staff,

Melissa
