Summary
Through my past work as an Early Childhood Educator, and current role as a stay at home mother, I have gained plenty of knowledge and the skills to help maintain a fun and exciting environment where children can explore and discover their love of literature. Organizational skills come easily for me and I can adapt well to any type of work environment. I have always dreamed of working in a library or bookstore because I have such a love for reading and being surrounded by books. I am familiar with how the Dewey Decimal System works and how to locate where books can be found or returned to. I would be honoured to join the wonderful library team that we have.
