It’s pretty stupid, but good luck getting a library job without one...for some reason.
Staff at my local library is flat out worthless. My daughter worked at a library for a few years while in HS and college. When we moved to a new town, she was appalled at the low level staff with LS degrees.
She applied and even with 4 years experience, they weren’t interested in her.
My wife has an MLS and ran into the same things.
