  • Checking the books in and out (and making sure the alarm doesn’t go off!)
  • Helping people to find books and music
  • Accessioning new stock and donations
  • Just being generally helpful

 

I work Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Outside of those days, I’m busy studying a Masters in Library and Archive Studies at the University of Manchester, usually in and around the John Rylands Library. I’m also a euphonium player, and after a stint in the army reserve, I’ve started brass banding, usually with the Manchester Universities band, and have competed in UniBrass every year since 2020 I also used to busk in Cambridge, my home town, but that was on the guitar: euphoniums are just too heavy!

Outside of music, I love cycling and utopian literature.
