UPDATE
Hi, everyone!
It's been almost 4 years since I made this video and there would be lots of things that I would update or add to this video. When I made this, I was a library director for about one year. The landscape of librarianship has changed some since I filmed this, and I've become better acquainted with my position as a director.
I would like to do an update to this one day, but I'd like to address something that's come up in the comments section (something I would also like to add to my update video). I've had several comments shaming me for calling myself a librarian when I do not currently hold an MLIS. These sort of elitist comments are not welcome in this space.
While I am not a degreed librarian, I ran a rural library in its entirety. I handled grant writing, day-to-day operations, collection acquisition, programming, budgeting, planning and more. I find this kind of nit-picking in the industry to be more harmful than helpful. While I think it's important to make some nuances between librarians that are trained in reference and other specialized areas, much of my work was the exact same as my degreed counterparts.
So, yes you CAN be a librarian without a masters degree.
I wanted to make this video so those that were interested in the career but maybe weren't sure about pursuing a MLIS would have the ability to know there are paths they can choose before deciding the shell out $15 - $30K for a Master's degree. (I now feel comfortable pursuing a Master's because I've gotten to experience the job first!)
Happy reading!
