Reply to Question for local librarians by iSoReddit
Hi, MLIS holder here. I don’t work in libraries anymore, but the degree does come in handy with my work.
You don’t have to have an MLIS to work in a library. to be a part of ACLA (Allegheny county library association) libraries need at least one person on staff that has a MLIS or a bachelors degree and a provisional library certificate . Which is a 12 credit certificate. A few local colleges offer that online, I think Clarion.
I wouldn’t recommend getting the MLIS unless you want to be a library director or work for Carnegie library of Pittsburgh, and even then I’d get a low level job there first and get the cert on the side.
Happy to answer questions!

At universities, 75% or more of the work in the libraries is performed by people w/o MLS degrees for peanut wages. They only hire MLS holders for a handful of high level positions. Those people are considered faculty.

It depends on the sort of library you are looking at. I’m a library assistant for the state and I needed a bachelors in something.

It tends to pigeonhole you career-wise as well, and it takes an eternity to see a return on the investment. I started mine and then bailed when I realized you don't really need it. It's just industry gate-keeping and I didn't want to be part of it.

Wow, I never would have imagined that a masters degree is required. My son Nico said this is a hard degree to obtain.

There are a lot of jobs you can do at a library that don’t require an MLIS, but if you want to be a librarian, you need one. That’s not necessarily true in all states. Some states, especially in small towns, have people without MLIS degrees working as librarians.

According to this website, every librarian in Pennsyvania needs an MLIS (Master of Library and Information Science)

I argue viva is far worse. Capriottis tasted fine it was expensive as hell though (which is probably why it went out of business). Viva is doing well, and will probably continue to now that mad Mex is out of the picture

There are so many reasons to love the north side and all Of this development is great - really hope things calm down on E O after all of these shops go in and things actually get enforced , cleaned up.

Why do you want to believe everything is about race? Seems like an unhealthy obsession that I hope you get treatment for.

Most times someone who calls something a dog whistle is really just afraid to acknowledge the truth. There are plenty of low class people of any race who cause most of the trouble that the rest of their race gets blamed for.

Any of the Indian or Asian groceries. In the strip there's WFH and lotus foods.
