my dear mom is in her final semester of grad school to become a librarian. took her 5 years, but that's while working full-time. in the US, an actual librarian position does pay a lot more than a library associate, but these positions are hard to get. many of my mom's co-workers have library science degrees but work in the same lower level position as her. of course, this is if you're looking for an opening at a public library specifically. there are always schools... and prisons.

If you want to become a chartered librarian yes, but I am not one, and being a chartered librarian is pointless because I work with one and we're on the same pay scale / job level. Or in fact, I'm now on a higher pay scale. Anyway, we're now in a new (and very lovely) building, and one of the many, many new features includes a piano which anyone can jsut wander in and play. This has (so far) worked really well, and there are some surprisingly talented people, and it adds a really nice mood and feel to the place.

how did you first get the job? were there any prerequisites and/or what training did you get?

A child left a drawing in the library today.
How lovely, you might think.
No. no way.
It was a drawing of a pissed off looking angel bear salsating out a camera, carrying around a suitcase of his own poo (worth 20,000,000 backwards-pound-signs, btw), whilst proclaiming 'I am waching (sic) you'.
I am truly disturbed.

This sounds like a description of a modern work of art... With a very peculiar message against capitalism. The library is in London, Isadora Is a Door?
