Great! I never got an MLIS, but I have a position as a fulltime Library Assistant and I’ve been worrying in the library world for 15 years now.

Wow, obviously it must be excellent there or else you would’ve left. I’ve always admired library work and the institution of libraries, but I think my current full-time job keeps me just a bit too busy to try it out. Plus… I wonder how their budgets will go in the coming years…

I did eventually end up leaving my original library for one in a blue state. Library positions don’t pay a lot and the future of libraries is very much under attack. But you do it for the passion of literacy and helping the community however you can.
