Statistics New Zealand Interpreting Charts Contact with People Librarians usually work alone, but they have a lot of contact with their colleagues. They also interact with the public, library staff from other branches, community organisations, local government officials, researchers, writers, poets, publishers, musicians, and cultural and craft groups. Librarians may also supervise staff and small groups of people. A lot of school teachers come in wanting to set assignments around the resources that we have in the library, so I work closely with them as well. These statements and statistics are based on information available from Statistics New Zealand about librarian occupations.
