Post is in Old Brookville..
I have my BS in Accounting and I did that for three years (inventory and fixed asset accounting) at a large company.
I love reading and it has contributed to my deductive reasoning skills, vocabulary and independence and I want to pass on it's benefits to children. (LOL, sounds like a college essay statement). I think people don't realize how necessary it is to READ.
Anyhow, I'd love to be an elementary school librarian.
The teacher's hours are just a bonus!![]()
By the way I went to RIT for my undergrad in photography, but was accepted to Pratt. The library there is awesome!

I'm not sure if I want to work in a school setting or a public library. I think my ideal would actually be a university. I agree with everything you said, above, though. It is so important to open children's minds through reading. I find it to be exciting and enlightening and never boring! I also think it would be a good career for a woman who is looking to eventually have a family! When are you thinking about going back to school?

Law libraries are a good career path as well.
Hopefully Fall of 2009... After the wedding and we're settled and have a house.... you?

I actually just finished my first semester of library school at CW Post. I really enjoyed it. I am on track to become a school librarian, though I would not be opposed to working in public libraries too. But there is so many things you can do with a library degree!
The good thing about Post is that if you want to become a school librarian, the education classes that you need are included in the library school. some other library schools make you take additional credits in the education department before giving you your certification

Law librarians do very well! My mom is friends with a few also. A Law University librarian tends to get a very large budget and they dont so bad themselves!
