Q: Who is your favourite author/what book would you recommend?

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is available in both Porter and Davis Waterloo Reads collections, and from the University of Guelph.

Q: What are you most looking forward to in your new job?
A: I am most looking forward to working at the library in a full-time capacity and getting to know my coworkers as well as to how everyone is contributing to the day-to-day functioning of the library.
Q: What is your favourite spot in the Library/on campus?
A: My favourite spot on campus would have to be the EIT building. It has a nice little café with coffee and a tasty lunch menu, but it is also full of dinosaur fossils, a museum of various rocks and minerals, and a neat mine tunnel
Q: What do you like to do outside of work/any hidden talents?
A: Outside of work I like to volunteer in the community, in particular with science outreach to try and get children excited about science and technology with fun and interactive kits. I also enjoy cooking, baking, and knitting.
Q: Who is your favourite author/what book would you recommend?
A: This one is tough to narrow down, but I would say Margaret Atwood is one of my favourite authors. I typically read a lot of dystopian type books, but I also enjoy the occasional historical fiction or romance novel. A book I would recommend is Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks – a love story set in Europe during the first World War.
Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks is available at the Waterloo Public Library.
