Lily Gu (MLIS, Information Assistant II, Vaughan Public Libraries): As an immigrant myself, I understand how important library resources are for newcomers. I've been advocating for more multilingual programs and I'm very happy that it took a concrete form in the past 2 years. I went to school at University of Toronto and have been working for VPL for 5 years. I speak Mandarin natively; this has helped me work in a diverse community and develop programs to better serve them and help them to feel a sense of belonging. When I'm not at the library, I like to go rock climbing and hiking to burn off the tasty food I like eating.
