I am a librarian at Diocesane library of Bilbao (Basque Country/Spain) and also the treasurer of Association of Church Librarians in Spain (ABIE). My training comes from a bachelor's degree in theology. I have taken several courses in library science, and since 2006 I have been the technical manager of a heritage library, specialized in theology.
