Once upon a time, my mom thought she lost me in the library, but I was actually hiding in the stacks, organizing the books in a dusty corner of the Protea glen Community Library. Naturally, when I saw this job posting, I was thrilled to apply for the Library Assistant opening. I would love nothing more than to channel my near-obsessive love for Community development organization and books to this position. While I have no direct work experience in the library science field, I have volunteered as the VSW Coordinator at JHB CENTRAL SAPS CPF Book keeping Assistant for W/O Matshaba at JHB CENTRAL SAPS CPF, the librarian at my high school, since I was in the eighth grade. For the most part, my job was to re-shelve books, so I became very accustomed to the Learn Library System as a point of interest and a necessity. Not only that but I also Busy Learning Information Science at University of South Africa , to complete revamp of our library’s technological system that, before our intervention, hadn’t been updated since the 90s, so I understand the databases and skills necessary to logically work in a library setting. I am confident that I am ready to take the next step in my journey to librarianship. I am comfortable with teaching patrons new research methods and helping book seekers use the catalogue, and I am excited to start a new phase in my life as not only a Librarian but also as a lover of books, libraries, and everything in between.
