WORK IN DIFFERENT KINDS OF LIBRARIES

- Librarians compile and maintain collections in libraries. However, there is significant

flexibility in terms of where they can work. Librarians can work in government libraries,
where they maintain historically significant collections. They can focus on law and run
law libraries. They can also concentrate on education and work in school libraries, where
they may perform many of the duties of a teacher. School librarians, particularly in
elementary schools, frequently develop lesson plans and teach classes on library-related
topics. Finally, they can work in public libraries, where they will maintain collections for
the community's use.

PERSONAL ENRICHMENT

- A Bachelor’s in Library Science helps students become more well-rounded individuals.

Librarians learn so much on a wide breadth of topics that they are often well-informed,
well-educated and understand much of the world around them. Reading fiction has been
shown to increase empathy for different peoples, cultures and viewpoints. Librarians
also get rich personal enrichment from working with students and visitors, discussing
materials they love and often forging strong relationships. This enrichment can lead
librarians to living a more fulfilled life.
