With librarian

- Thuli Dangazele

QWhat do you like about being a librarian?

A: I love being a librarian because I find pleasure in being a part of the unique sense of comfort the library provides. I also love it because I have the power to be the doctor of knowledge, to share the informatio­n with all people, to push them to study or read more.

Q: What is the most important thing you have learnt in your career?

A: What I have learnt over the years in this career is being patient with people and always smiling while dealing with different people with different attitudes. As a public servant I have to remain calm and friendly and always accommodat­e different personalit­ies.

Q: What is your favourite literature genre, why and what book are you reading?

A: I do not read fiction books, maybe I should in the future. I am always on self-help books, autobiogra­phies, inspiratio­nal books and so forth. Basically I dwell more on books that are about facts. My current and all-time favourite book is As a Man Thinketh written by James Allen.

Q:When you think about spring, what comes to mind?

A: For me when spring pops up it basically means we get another chance to blossom, unfold or develop into something our hearts desire. It is a season to be reborn, be happy and be cheerful.

Q Define your fashion sense?

A: I like to feel comfortabl­e in what I wear daily. I would say I have a very modern, chic yet minimalist style, be it in my house or how I dress. But comfort is where it is at, for me.

Q: Where did you grow up, and what is your favourite childhood memory?

A: I grew up in Elliotdale. One of my favourite childhood memories was playing a lot or basically being an active child in my family.

Q: How do you relax?

A: How I relax on a daily basis is by practising mindful meditation, journaling my thoughts and listening to soothing music and taking long baths.

Q: What is your favourite motto?

A: Whatever the mind of man can conceive and bring themselves to believe, you can achieve.

Q: Your favourite quote?

A: Trust the process always.
