Hello! My name is Olivia Dushanko. I am a second year student worker at the circulation desk. My favorite part of being a student worker is getting to experience the environment of the library. It might sound a bit odd, but I love the library and how it functions as a whole. In general, the work environment at the library is always very positive and relaxed. Everyone here is easy to talk to, whether it be co-workers, supervisors, or patrons. I enjoy interacting with people and helping them if they need it. For the most part, the library is always very alive. There are people coming and going constantly doing all sorts of different things. I get to see an active part of the West Chester community every day and I also get to be a part of it at the same time. I think that's really cool.
Working at the library, I've learned how to collaborate with people in a more formal setting. I've gotten better with interacting with patrons who I don't know and helping them with their questions. I've also learned how we process books from other schools and our own. I find that to be very interesting because it shows that the library is a lot more complex than it seems. There is so much that goes on here.
Working at the library has helped me immensely. If I did not work here I would not know about all the wonderful resources I have available to me. The library has provided a perfect space for me to get a lot of important work done. I've also helped a good number of my friends with different issues. My one friend's laptop stopped working and I told him he could rent out a laptop down at the IMC. I've also told my friends about the colored printing that is also available at the library. I would not know any of this information if I did not work here. I feel that I'm very lucky to work here.
