My mom worked at a bookstore for 25 years, I work in a library…you’re gonna need bookstore experience. Caring for & working with books is not the same as other retail jobs. Not saying this to be mean, sorry.

You’re definitely going to need prior experience in an actual bookstore before u get considered for a management position.

Was just about to say this. They usually only promote people into manager after they get the experience while working there or if you were a manager at another store.

You need a Masters to be considered a full librarian; until then you’re just considered staff, which is what I am. I’m going to apply this year tho
