A few weeks ago I was a little caught off guard when the local school principal called and suggested I update my application for a library job. (An application I hadn't touched since moving to Germany in 2007.) I did as she asked and was deemed "qualified" thanks to my recently completed MLS.
Side note: Did you know that you must have a Master's degree (in Library or Information Science) to be considered a librarian? Did you know that to be a school librarian you also have to have been a teacher for at least 2 years?
A few days later I had a job offer in my email. The job literally fell into my lap. Isn't that an awesome blessing? Many of my recently graduated librarian friends in the states are unable to find jobs due to budget cuts, and here I am with one handed to me on a platter. God is so good.
And you know what else? It's part time. AMAZING. This means I can still keep up with my volunteer work, Zumba, and coach cheerleading.
Now I just need to get...

That's awesome! I think it would be so fun to be a librarian. I didn't realize that you had to have taught for two years to be a school librarian, I guess that job is ruled out for me!
That is so awesome!!! Congrats!

Congrats! I knew about having to have a master's, but not the part about having to be a teacher. Interesting, but it makes sense!
