So, You Want to Be a Librarian?

People always ask me about getting a job in the library. They gush about how amazing it must be to get to read all day. I gently remind them that I am not reading right now; I am helping them. Then they talk about how nice it is to be surrounded by books all day. I agree with them.

I love being a public librarian. Not just for the books, but because I am able to directly serve the people in my community. If you are thinking about entering the profession, I urge you to take a look at the following slides. Thanks to Stephen Abram for the initial link.
