I chaired two search committees to hire librarians at the college I work at. Fortunately, we hired two good ones, in part due to the insights of the two students on the committee. But we had our fair share of the hard-wired bitter, know-it-all liberal womyn. In fact a good number of them were SJW types.
My daughter worked a high school job at a library and loved it. She is now the Children’s department Lead at a Barnes and Noble. Barely squeaking buy in retail but absolutely loves introducing kids to the adventure of reading.
Sadly, the degree requirements to be a librarian are so insane she doesn’t feel she can justify the years required, nor the cost.
Plus she’s very conservative and probably won’t survive the hardcore lefty indoctrination process.
She set a goal in January to sell 100 copies of her favorite children’s book. It’s called Peter and the Starcatcher’s. (sort of a prequel to Peter Pan) Two weeks ago, she sold her 200th copy for the year.
I sent an email to the author (Dave Barry) and asked him to
Congratulate her. She was so excited to get a personal letter from her favorite author.
The Masters in Library Science degree is a racket. Any reasonably intelligent person who loves knowledge can be a good librarian.
