Not only does he take great pride in keeping the library sparklingly clean and well-maintained, but as a fluent speaker of both English and Spanish, he is also happy to help translate for patrons and staff. Bolstered by the appreciation of the people he serves, Mercury is inspired every day to do his job better and better.
