Is it necessary to earn a degree in Library Science in order to be hired as a librarian at a public library?
Do librarians who work in public libraries need degrees? It seems that the librarians I know in my mother’s generation (mid-50s) don’t have degrees, but the younger ones I know do have them.
Also, I’m curious—how do librarians apply the knowledge gained in their specialized degrees while working in a public library, particularly a small-town library?
