For more information and data as to what a librarian is worth, take a look at this interesting infographic below.

About Fred Mitchell
I like midnight surfing and going for jogs at sunrise with my my golden retriever, Charlie. When I'm not studying Russian literature or reading Dostoievski, you can find me playing video games like Witcher 3 or Battlefield Hardline, or hanging out in Starbucks sipping an Americano. I never leave the house without my phone and saying I am a social media addict would definitely not be an understatement.
As a future librarian, thank you! This is awesome.
the “reading books” part is missing in the librarian’s weekly tasks.
Reading books plays almost no part in my weekly tasks. It’s done almost entirely on my own time away from the library. I don’t actually know of any librarians who are able/allowed to read “on the job”. Funny, though, that that’s the impression a lot of people have.
