Metronet’s series – Real Life Librarianship

Real Life Librarianship A Metronet Wind Down Series Curious about the different types of libraries and the librarians who work in them? Thinking about where you might fit in the library world?

Join us in the Real Life Librarianship series to hear real librarians who do a variety of jobs in various libraries explain not only what day-to-day life is like doing these jobs but how to get there. This would be useful for job seekers, library school students, & anyone who is looking to advance or change roles in a library, or anyone who is just curious about other people’s jobs.
