I can be a community educator, organizer, and innovator while enhancing my creativity in ways that will benefit the community as well as the library itself! Being a librarian has so much to offer in a sense that I am able to share my librarian skills, be it at problem-solving, researching, retrieving, or information literacy, to the patrons.
Either in their need for knowledge, resources or the facilities, to connect with the community and exact the effort to fulfill all these always generate a feeling of content in self. Librarians can share the academic research to the whole world. I feel connected with the past, I can help people with their information needs at the present, in order to help them build their future.
Every day, you are in touch with the information of each subject and each discipline, and from individuals and visitors, you also learn about their research.
A kind of permanent and compulsory education towards growth and excellence. Love to meet new people and help them find new books and resources. Librarians are a sort of cross between pastors of the mind and doctors of the soul.
The motivations behind following the path of librarianship differ from person to person but we can notice one similarity between all of them; librarians really love their job, the space where they work and the people they interact with. Also known as library media specialists, librarians play a unique role in our schools. Often asked to take on a wide range of duties, these passionate and savvy educators deserve more than only a week of praise.
And in case you need a reminder of all that librarians do for our students and our schools, we've put together a list -- but it's only a start. In many schools, the library media specialist is the go-to expert on all things tech.
Don't know how to use that new projector? Looking for a great app for annotating texts? Can't figure out your new phone? Yet the principles remain; and, through conferences, professional literature, and networking, I hold my own. Most importantly, I learn something new every day. Okay, so I may be stretching things a bit here. I married a librarian. My case may be extreme, but there is help for the lovelorn in libraries—either in the wonderfully interesting colleagues we meet see reasons 2 and 7 or in the books and resources libraries offer.
Useful skills. I did not enter library school with a soaring heart. I viewed the degree less as graduate school and more as a kind of trade school. Truthfully, my library education was both. I learned the value of organization I finally put my massive LP collection in alpha order by artist. I discovered the importance of collection development, equal access to resources, and intellectual freedom.
Great conferences. Librarians host good conferences. I consider my state conference to be so necessary to my mental well-being that I often pay my own way. What better way to see the world and recharge the professional batteries?
Time off. Librarians may not get great pay, but we do generally receive liberal vacations. Special Librarians can also work for museums, law offices, and even orchestras! Along with large corporations, hospitals, etc. There's even such a thing as a "Wine Librarian. Nothing exemplifies a good time like a dance party at the library! Librarians are super creative - in our book displays It's our craft.
And our programs.
