A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to spend five days volunteering at Palace Green Library. The library is home to Durham University’s special collections, the University’s most important books, manuscripts, files and other miscellaneous artefacts. There are numerous different collections at the library referencing a wide range of different periods and people, as well as a number of different teams making use of the site, so it was a wonderfully diverse week. I was able to try out lots of roles and everyone at the library went out of their way to ensure I benefited from the experience. Today I want to write about a few of the key positions that I was involved with, and the skills and perspectives that I developed.
