Ashely P. and I talk about the difference between a librarian and library specialist, getting your Master's in Library and Information Science (MLIS), building a collection and cataloging, the pay, the different roles/jobs at a library, and learning to assert and protect yourself as a librarian.

About Ashley: Ashley (also known as The Library Bae) resides in Virginia and works as a Youth Services Librarian with the Fairfax County Library System. After falling in love with her local library and its contributions to the community, she obtained her MLIS (Master of Library and Information Science) from Valdosta State University and has worked in public libraries for almost 10 years. Ashley enjoys working with youth from birth to teens, talking to and teaching others about youth literacy, STEM and STEAM, and promoting diversity, inclusion and equity in libraries.
