This month, the YVYC Tuesday Book Club interviewed Nicola, one of the members of staff at Halewood Library. We asked her some questions about life as a librarian and why she loves her job.

David: How long have you been working at the library?

Nicola: I’ve worked at the library since September, so less than a year, actually! But it’s always my dream job.

David: Why did you decide to work in the library?

Nicola: Firstly, because I love books and I love people and I get to work with both. Every day is different and we have everybody here - small children for singing and stories, people needing help with the council, it’s different every day!

David: What is your favourite thing about your job?

Nicola: That’s hard because there’s so much, I love! But my favourite thing is the people. It makes me happy every day.

David:Whatisyourleast favouritethingaboutyourjob?

Nicola:That’shardbecause there’snothingIdon’tlikereally! ButIdohateitat5o’clockwhen peoplearestillhereenjoyingthe libraryandIhavetotellthemto gohome.

David: Why should people visit the local library?

Nicola: Because it’s the best place to be! We want everyone to enjoy the library. We have activities and crafts; we have lots of amazing books and will help you find one that you’ll love; we can help with council services - like housing and benefits - and we’ll do anything we can to help you!

Bonus quiz question! – How many books are there in this library?

Nicola: Oh no! I should know this! 17,500, I think!

David: You were close, Nic! The answer is 17,560.
