Hello. I am one of two trainees at the Bodleian Law Library. I recently graduated from Bath Spa University in a Creative Writing and English Literature degree. My only previous work experience in a library was at my local library in my hometown in Bristol. What attracted me towards this career was providing a service to people, which I loved doing in my previous job. I also like that there are such a variety of libraries to work in, whether it’s public or academic, and that there are many different departments to work in within a library. Whilst my fellow trainee works in Academic Services, I work in Information Resources, which deals with books as they first enter the library to be catalogued. I’m looking forward to working in such a large library and also in Oxford, which is a beautiful place to live.
