Libraries are in integral part of every higher education institution domestically and abroad. They meet the needs of residential and virtual students and faculty in every way appropriate: course support, technological support, and even entertainment and social needs. But there is little to no research done on the intercultural adeptness of the library faculty and staff who serve and teach. In this study, the aim was to extend the narrative to include an understanding of the cultural competence of those who offer said services and whether exposure to the other cultures can increase intercultural knowledge.
