- It's Friday! Let's celebrate the best day of the week with a #bookface. Today we have selected one of the pictures that won our Library staff’s recent Book Face competition, featuring The prophet: the Life of Leon Trotsky by Isaac Deutscher. #bookfacefriday #fridayfun #librarylifeOur first short interview is with Vanessa. She's an intern from Berlin and with us for 2 months. Could you explain your role here during the internship and what you normally do back in Berlin? "I'm based on Level 4 and try to answer student's questions as good as I can. I help updating worksheets for the Subject Librarians and attend some of their sessions to learn how things work. Next to that I also get to help with reading lists and other similar tasks. I'm training to become a specialist for media and information services, specialising in librarianship (which is sort of like a Library Assistant) at the @ub_tu_berlin back at home, where I learn about acquisitions of media, making them available for students and helping users to find what they need. The training lasts 3 years and my final exam will be next Summer. After that I'll be qualified to work in a library." Can you tell us a bit more about you? "My passions are reading, writing and baking. I started writing when I was 7, first only poems, later stories. Last year I published my first novel, which I'm currently translating into English. And my favourite season is Autumn." Thank you, Vanessa! #introducinglibrarians #librariesareawesome #staffpicks #libraryofpossibilities #lovemylibrary #humansofthelibrary #librarylife #bathlifeAre you a student who dreams about a stress-free time at Uni? To celebrate Libraries Week and also the University of Bath's Be Well Week, we have a display in the Library, showing you books about well-being, stress relief and similar topics. Feel free to come around, have a look at them and borrow any you want to take home to read. #bewellweek #librariesweek #librariesareawesome #librariesarecool #libraries #uniofbath
