Tiffany Han summarizes her work experience from 2010 to the present. Her first job was as a counselor for Vacation Bible School in 2010 between 7th and 8th grade. Her most recent community service job was in 2013 at a metropolitan museum, where she felt awkward around elderly visitors. She has also done various other community service work including again as a VBS counselor in 2012 and working at a church cafe that same year. Her first paid job was in 2012 as a teacher's assistant for a junior high science class, where she still works today. Looking ahead, she hopes to continue community service and her TA job, work during the summers, and eventually become an architect working in a company in New York
Public libraries do far more than lend books. They are one of the remaining freely accessible civil society institutions and, in their local form, provide a public sphere for civil engagement; from social arena, to providing opportunities for participation. However, austerity measures have cut public library budgets, resulting in limited opening hours, depleted stocks, reduced staff and a growing reliance on volunteers. Other services are fighting, or have succumb to, closure.
While cuts to public libraries affect us all, the consequences are unequal and reflect a widening gulf between rich and poor. Those who are excluded, less able or disenfranchised disproportionately rely on public libraries, not only as a source of information, but as a space of inclusion. To illustrate, this paper draws on ongoing research on the impact of austerity on public libraries. It presents the accounts of homeless people and their everyday encounters with their local library. On one hand the public library was relied on for access to information services necessary for navigating welfare reform, for informal education and books for enjoyment. On the other, it cultivated homeless users’ sense of belonging, providing a space of safety, peace and sanctuary. The paper demonstrates the vital contribution that public libraries make to supporting community well-being and social justice – but only when given proper investment and priority. A stark rendering of what will be lost should statutory public library services continue to be cut, this paper demonstrations how austerity is creating the conditions for widening social divisions.

2. First work and last work.
• 2010
The summer between 7th and 8th grade, I was a counselor
for VBS. Although I wasn’t paid and it was only
community service, it was my first job.
• 2013
The most recent community service job I did was at
Riverside Metropolitan Museum. I worked as a “extra
hand to help around.” It was very difficult because I am
very awkward around the elderly and 90% of everyone
there were older, drunk people.
3. Variety of Community
Services during the summer.
• 2012
I did VBS again the summer between 8th and 9th grade. (I
don’t know why I hate kids.)
• 2012
I went to bible camp and did 5 hours of (very laborious)
community service everyday for a week.
• 2012
I went to a camp meeting and waitressed at my church’s
café for almost 7 hours of unpaid work everyday for a
week.
5. My first (and only) “real”
job.
• 2012
In the beginning of freshmen year, I started working as a
T.A. for the Jr. High Science class. I finally got paid for
my work, about $8.00 an hour. I am still working for that
class today with my fellow “colleagues,” Justin Mitchell
and Andy Valenzuela. (And sometimes Brandon Jones.) I
am the best worker.
6. My high school future.
• I will probably participate in community service through VBS
and bible camp again. However, some years I may be too busy
taking SAT classes.
• I hope to be a T.A. for the rest of my high school
years, although I think this year will be remembered as the best
because of my fabulous co-workers and fantastic boss.
• I want to have a job during the summer other than community
service. I think I would have trouble finding work, but I would
really like the money.
• I would like to do more community service that I really want
to do, such as volunteer at an animal shelter or a soup kitchen.
8. After High School:
College.
• I would like to work while I’m in college, because I need
the money.
• I don’t have a specific preference, but I think waitressing
doesn’t sound too bad since I now have a little bit of
experience.
• Other places that I think would be fun to work at include:
Starbucks Coffee, Barns and Noble, Baskin Robbins.
9. Real Careers.
• I would like to become an architect when I get older.
• As of right now, I don’t think I want my own firm, I just
want to be a worker in a company. Preferably get more
important jobs as time goes by.
• I would love to work and live in New York, especially in
a big city.
