My career in libraries began in 2010 and I quickly came to feel that this was my field. I completed a Master’s degree in Information and Library Studies in 2019, and was appointed as Children and Young People’s Librarian for the Vale of Glamorgan in February 2020.
As an avid reader from childhood, getting lost in a book has always been one of my favourite ways to spend time. Reading for pleasure can have profound benefits, and by working closely with schools across the Vale, I have the oppourtunity to share my love of reading with children. It’s also a lot of fun!
I was thrilled to be asked to join the adjudicating panel for the Tir na n-Og Awards. Having grown up speaking both Welsh and English, I’m particularly interested in examining the Welsh identity aspect of this year’s submissions. Cultural identity is a fascinating phenomenon that’s so unique to each one of us, and plays a big part in who we are as people.
