Work Places and Travel Librarians work in public and business libraries, government department libraries, school and university libraries, prison libraries, and information centres and consultancies. Librarians may travel to public speaking engagements and conferences both locally and nationally. There are also opportunities to swap jobs with other librarians nationally and internationally.
Most libraries are quiet, comfortable and well-lit places.
Dealing with the public during busy times of the day can be stressful. It is definitely a high stress job. I go to the gym to control my stress levels. Haneta Pierce, Librarian Employment Conditions Hours Librarians usually work regular hours. They may sometimes work in the evenings and at weekends, and in some libraries, they may do shiftwork.
