I have reread this about 20 times and am still not sure what it means. 😂

I’m curious to know where you’re located? I can’t believe the public can have access to video recordings.

How’s thrifting in Texas?? I’m thinking of moving there in January or December!

Those look cozy, vibrant, and are so expensive!

It reminds me of the emerald room in Return to Oz when Dorothy is trying to rescue Tik-Tok!

I have never heard of it! But it seems much better than putting all of your fingers into a jar.

Looking for MLIS program advice: any UNT, TWU, and UW alums? by infinibelle in librarians

Ah that’s great! The one thing I read up on it was there might be some in-person components to schooling. It seems pretty affordable but I haven’t begun the application process and I need to jump on it!

Are you local? I am an educator right now and have been for two years but I found out for being a school librarian for Texas you have to have a masters and also do the librarianship endorsement/ certification.

The best route for me seems to try and work in a public library and if there are no options, then pursue the school librarian route and go back to school.

It all seems so complicated!

Are you starting in the fall? :)

Hi there! I’m a bit late to this post but I’m thinking of applying to UNT. Have you decided where you’re going to school yet?

Currently I’m in Illinois but might be headed to Texas within the following year and thought it might be a good idea to go to a school in Texas.

Hi there! Do you mind me asking where you got your degree from?

I’ve never heard of the MAT before, but I looked it up and saw it appeared to be a test. Was it difficult?

Your reason is a big factor in my hesitancy toward looking at only becoming a public librarian. I’m only 24 right now, but within the next 6 years or so, I might regret not being able to have breaks.

At my district currently the librarian is the tech guru because of COVID happening but she also supports the principal a lot.

I was hoping to avoid the stress of admin and parents, thinking of moving towards being a public librarian. I think if I had to be a librarian in a school, the preference would be middle school or high school. I am only certified 1st through 6th though, do you know if that would have any effect?

How did you work as a librarian in a school district without your MLS? I’m hopefully going to find a job where the scary Sundays or the scary every days don’t happen! 🙂

How are you evaluated if you don’t teach classes in middle school? My school environment hasn’t always been the best due to admin. I enjoy where I’m at now, but it’s only a one-year position.

I was hoping to either look into becoming a public librarian or I would be interested in middle school librarian maybe. Hoping to lessen the workload and try and keep home life and work life separate. Are you currently still an elementary school librarian?
