Pros
The people are great. Whether it was the patrons we helped or the on staff members, I loved getting to know everyone at this library. I was truly sad to leave this place behind. There was so much peace at this job compared to jobs, I had in the past. The work wasn't difficult, but it still felt fulfilling to serve the general public. The schedule was very structured. I always knew when I was working. We also had every other weekend off, which I loved. Highly recommend to book lovers and people wanting to get in touch with the community around them.
Cons
It is very hard in Michigan to find a sustainable library job without your MLIS. If you have a bachelors degree you will find only part time jobs available. Most of the time it felt like you had to be overqualified to be considered for a job.
