So You Want To Be a Librarian...

Follow-up video What I studied in Library School & Advice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuDAfTdEPBM&t=18s
NOTE: the title of this video is a play on the old Library manual by the same title (I'm not being condescending)
I tried to make a comprehensive video explaining all the things you should consider before becoming a #librarian, or contemplating working in a #library. These are things I wish I could have known before entering the field. Knowing these things might make you more prepared, well-equipped, and less likely to be disappointed if it’s not what you thought it would be, but it might also make you a better, stronger, well-versed librarian.

These are MY opinions based on MY experiences. I will share below others in the field sharing their experiences. Not everything I say is golden truth, take everything with a grain of salt. Also, it is worth mentioning, that just like your job depends on the community it's serving, your situation may also depend on the kind of co-workers you have and how they collaborate/communicate etc.
