September is a time for new faces, in the libraries as throughout the campus. This fall the Killam is pleased to welcome Krystle Sichky and Aran Silmeryn to our Circulation Department. Both are with us as full-time temps, Krystle until the end of December and Aran until the end of April.

Krystle graduated from Dal this past spring with a BA in arts and history. She’s no newcomer to the library–in fact her first job as a Dal student was in our Document Delivery Dept. where she worked for three semesters in 2005-06. Krystle loves camping and biking and appropriately is also a keen reader. She says she’s about to dive into The Red Tent and is definitely going to be raiding the Killam’s shelves while she’s here.

Aran is a newly-minted LIT grad from the NSCC, where he has worked part-time at the Waterfront Campus library. With his diploma in Library & Information Technology he’s trained in a wide variety of areas: library management, acquisitions, cataloguing, document delivery, readers’ advisory skills and more. Aran also plays in several Wolfville bands, including TripALady, which had a CD release this past June at the Old Orchard Inn. That’s him fronting on guitar at Night Kitchen in Acadia Cinema’s Al Whittle Theatre.
