Interviewer: How long have you worked at the Library? Angel: Long enough to know never to challenge Linda to a rap battle.... Interviewer: Can you give us a 2 sentence description of what you do.... Angel: I run around each day completing many, many different tasks but some of my favorites include; 3d printing, helping with programs, helping patrons, and slaying the occasional dragon or two. Interviewer: What are 3 fun facts about you? Angel: I'm super boring, but I love to play Yu-Gi-Oh! (challenges accepted at any time), Splatoon (challenges accepted at any time), and watch lots of cartoons/anime as well as read tons of comics and manga (recommendations accepted at any time). We are open, at limited capacity, for browsing and computer use. And, as always, Angel is welcoming all challengers.
