I know there are many here so show yourselves 🙋🏽 I'm currently an academic librarian at a regional branch campus. I started in public libraries as a paraprofessional and also worked at a small independent bookstore and Borders. #librariansoflitsy #bookworkersrollcall #librarianintraining #bookishwork #bookstorejob

littlelibrarian I worked in public libraries for five years. I did everything from circulation, technical services, storytime, management. While in library school, I was a graduate assistant in special collections and worked with a rare book cataloger. I started a job as a high school Library Media Specialist in August. I want to do a little bit of everything! 7y
