Helping Anyone with Anything: Meet KCPL Senior Library Assistant Lilia Sandoval

Senior Library assistant Lilia Sandoval is based at the North-East Branch. This location offers materials in English, as well as books, magazines, fotonovelas, CDs, and DVDs in Spanish and other languages.
“Every day is a different day at the Library,” Sandoval says. “Sometimes we help people sign up for Library cards or sometimes we even help people find jobs.”
Her connection to the Library started at an early age. “I was five years old when I first remember walking into the Library,” she says. “They had a lot of resources and books so I could learn English because I could only learn Spanish at home.”
Sandoval’s favorite thing about working at the Library is “being able to help anyone, to help as much as I can. That means a lot to me.”
