During her work term with Halifax Public Libraries in Nova Scotia, Andrea worked with community members and provided personalized support for individuals with learning challenges. She collaborated with individuals, organizations, and politicians in the Dartmouth North community to achieve meaningful programming recommendations for the first ever outdoor library space in Canada. Andrea had the opportunity to apply her academic knowledge of community librarianship to her workplace, by prioritizing patron needs and ensuring that libraries are accessible, relevant, and helpful to the community. Andrea shared that Arts Co-op has changed her perception of working with teens and as a result, enhanced her confidence in working with that age group. Overall, co-op has made an important impact on how Andrea is moving forward in her own professional development – recognizing challenges faced by libraries, and actively seeking to overcome these obstacles in her future work opportunities.
