• Keep the physical library neat, up to date, and easy for users to browse.
• Work with the Materials Library team to build seasonal and theme-based material collections for internal review sessions and visits.

• Share practical ideas that strengthen library operations and support long-term materials strategy development.

Competencies and Experience
