Imposter Syndrome Issues Reoccurring

I'm entering year 3 of my position (It's a new version of the clerk position essentially). No degree or library background. I feel like I've had plenty of good moments here and my evaluations have been solid since I've started; however, I still struggle with feeling what I bring to the table.

I'm good at remembering a lot of patron names which helps me create a relationship with them in various ways (simple circ desk help, computer assistance, etc.) and that's always been something I've been solid as is usually being good at being a people person. I'm 38 too. Tech savvy enough to help on the computers but no tech background or anything. Most of my jobs before this were rough.

I'm not a crafty person exactly either so creating programs around crafts hasn't come easy. I've tried video games but the majority of the youth here just stick to Roblox.

I've just been feeling really depressed lately and it makes me scared I'd be pushed out of my job at some point because I don't know what I bring exactly. 😢
