Don't waste your time. Universities are cutting back on these programs at the graduate level because there is no money for the graduates. Pay is too low to justify the additional expense of the degree.

Well, I was planning on librarian for my 3rd career when I am old and feeble. By that time I probably wont even need the degree.

If you want a real eyeopener, just go to your local library or branch and see how many people are not there! Sure, some poor souls are using the computers, but the adult literature is moved upstairs due to no traffic, and the kid's stuff is on the main level. They still have staff, but that is being cut down due to budget cuts by the cities and counties. The other 'patrons' are homeless, and those with no place else to 'hang out'. The Internet has replaced the library for most folks. It is sad, as I believe people are reading less due to the changes occurring around us.
