New Assistant Librarian at TRS@WHC

I recently joined the team at TRS@WHC as Assistant Librarian and I'm excited to be here. I love food and I love books, and my job allows me to surround myself with books about food all day long, which is just perfect! Have you checked out our beautiful collection lately? Do you have any suggestions for our collection?

I came across an interesting interview with the Librarian for the Food Network, which may give you a better idea of what we do behind the scenes and how we can be of help in better serving your research needs. Check it out here, and please stop by to say hi! I'm here to help and open to suggestions.
