Tadhg
I have been thinking, and thinking...
Maybe college is worth a try. I would like to be a librarian in the future.
Could somebody share advice? I would be quite thankful for any, especially from a librarian or someone who has been a librarian. Or anything related.

@CaismirneachRaigi

Can you volunteer somewhere? That might be a good place to start.

@Phiznlil Not here, I believe. And I am searching for a college elsewhere from where I currently live.

@adr I am interested in the preservation, maintaining, and sharing of knowledge and information for people to use and learn from. That seems really important and I would like to learn how to do it

@CaismirneachRaigi I am not nor have I ever been a librarian. I CAN say however that I remember the faces and advice and guidance of every librarian I ever interacted with, especially in college. Go to a college librarian and talk to them.

@CaismirneachRaigi @Judd Would you have any advice for someone considering the Way of the Librarian?
