Interested in becoming a Librarian?
Take your Current Job and People Skills to the Next
Level.
Become a Public Librarian.
To work in a library as a professional librarian you
must have a Master's degree in Library and Information Science (MLIS)
awarded from a school accredited by the American Library Association.
There are currently two schools in Southern California that offer the
MLIS: San Jose State
University (through a partnership with Cal State Fullerton) and
the University of California, Los
Angeles.
People with good written, verbal, and interpersonal
communications skills, a strong commitment to customer service, and a
desire to serve the needs of their community are perfect candidates for
public librarianship.
Paid internships for MLIS students are currently
available.
You can visit the American Library Association's
website
to find more information about librarianship as a career and schools
offering the MLIS in other states. |

What does a Librarian do?
Improve People’s Lives along with Your
Own.
Libraries are not just about books. We bring knowledge,
technology, and people together.
Whether finding an online resource, creating a
Web page, or presenting vital information at a community forum;
Librarians find and package knowledge for people of all ages and
backgrounds.
Public librarians work in a dynamic and fascinating
field that is constantly changing. They use technology to answer
questions and help people find what they are searching for. Public
librarians are detectives and teachers. They engage in marketing the
library and public relations. Public librarians conduct storytimes
and visit schools and other community centers. |
