Hi! I’m Charlie and I’m one of two trainees at the Taylor Institute. This term, I’m based in the Modern Languages Library, which mainly caters for undergraduates.
I studied English Language and Literature here in Oxford (Lady Margaret Hall), and graduated in 2006. I used a lot of Oxford libraries during my studies, so it’s fascinating to now be on the other side of the desk and to be involved in things readers know little of!
I heard about the Oxford training scheme while I was in my final year at university, and I’m thrilled to be back in Oxford and to be involved. The library is relatively quiet at the moment, so I’m taking the opportunity to learn as much as I can about how everything works before term starts and things get hectic.
I’m really looking forward to this year. I’m determined to get as much out of it as possible, and meet as many interesting people as possible. The libraries here are unparalleled, and I feel very lucky to be able to work here.
