Did you know…
- Not everyone who works in a library is a librarian—School and public librarians are certified and require an advanced degree. School librarians specialize by completing graduate level courses in education and many hold previous degrees in content area teaching, as well.
- Not every librarian works in a school or library, either—many work in museums, publishing, government, technology, and specialized areas.
- We wish we could read all day, but librarians are educators, trainers, managers, technologists, advertisers/ promoters, catalogers, organizers—there’s a lot more to the profession than shelving and checking out books!
- Libraries are not necessarily the “sshhhh!” quiet places they used to be—many have spaces and times for quiet but have expanded to include group study areas, cafes, technology areas, and maker spaces.
