How I did it: I the Attended the Royal Danish School of Library and Information Science for four years, started in 2005 and graduated in 2009.I have a Ba in Library and Information Science, and a single semester working om/writing a smaller thesis paper. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I applied to an MLS program and got in a few months before I got my first library job. I worked with kids, doing storytimes, teen events, reader's advisory and reference work. I applied what I learned at school in my work. Love my job! Read how I did it…

I now work as a librarian at three different places. Together, these three jobs add up to full time, but two of them are very temporary… I will keep this goal until I find something steadier.
In about three years I should be done studying~ I’m so excited~
Currently doing a co-op in my school library, and loving every second!
I landed another part-time, short-term job today.
I’m not sure my job title will be “librarian”, but the work I will be doing definitely is librarianish and good experience for the future. It’s completely different from my other part-time librarian gig, which might be a good thing or make me go crazy.
We’ll see.
When I completed my MLIS degree I decided I could mark this goal done when I landed my first librarian position. Well, now I have. The problem is, it’s only part time, and in itself won’t even pay the rent. Still, I’m really excited about it and the experience will be great.
So now I am a librarian, sort of. But as long as I can’t make a living at it, I won’t mark this goal done. But it’s a big step forward, I think?
1. The MLIS is done, with honors.
2. I’ve done some volunteer work at a local library.

I want to learn ASL and Spanish so I can help anyone and everyone who comes in. I want to be able to truly help people who are writing paper and doing research. I want to know where everything is! Heck I want to write my own stuff too…
I want to do more than what’s expected.
funniculee is dredging up old memories of past literary loves
Turned in all my hiring paperwork today. And had a short meeting with the current children’s librarian.
I am so glad to finally have a job, and a good one at that. I can’t really rest on my laurels, though – job is starting in about a week and they are throwing me to the wolves right away. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
(Mostly kidding. I am excited to get started. And I’ve always thrived on nervousness, at least in the short term.)

funniculee asks,
“Along with getting my MLIS, I'm applying for a circ. desk clerk position at a public library near my school. I don't have any previous library experience. What sorts of abilities should I highlight in the letter of interest?”
