Library Assistant | City of Ryde Libraries

I am a new library professional, currently working as a library assistant with City of Ryde libraries. I am currently studying for my Diploma in Library and Information Studies. My interest in a career in librarianship comes from my volunteering experience with The Women’s Library (Newtown, Sydney). My previous professional experience has been in television rights and contract management. As a CALD library professional, I look forward to contributing to the ALIA Multicultural group in a positive way.
