My name is Mari Paz Vera, and I am a librarian here at VCC Library. I was born in Ecuador and Spanish is my first language. I come from a family of educators - both my parents and two of my three siblings are educators. I moved to Vancouver more than a decade ago to pursue a Master in Library and Information Studies. Since then, I have lived on the traditional lands of Coast Salish territories. I love my work here, especially when I get to meet with students and help them find the information they need. Please contact me if you would like any assistance using the library or would just like to say hello. I look forward to meeting you!
