The article offers information on a personal journey with the recataloging project at Goldey-Beacom College's Hirons Library, revealing connections to Brazilian heritage through encountering familiar books like Dom Casmurro by Machado de Assis. Topics include the role of academic libraries as cultural bridges and repositories of cultural identity, the personal and educational significance of literature in shaping individual and community identities, and transformative impact of library roles.
