When Cathy met this crew of Young Librarians on a recent school visit, she decided to interview them on what was involved... read on to find out more!
How did you first become a librarian at your middle school? Did you have to interview for the job?
We didn't need to have an interview for the job, we simply filled out a form and we got offered the job.
What was involved in the job? What kind of work do you do and how often are you in the library?
We do lots of jobs - we mainly put books away in thei right place or we patrol. Patrolling means we go around the library are and check nobody is breaking the rules or having technical difficulties on the computers.
What is the best thing about being a young librarian? Or the worst?
The best things are the bribes (in sweets) but we all agree the worst thing is patrolling!!!!!
What kind of person might be suited to help out in the school library?
The person needs to be:

The person needs to be:
- Interested in books
- Helpful
- Slightly mad (in a good way!)
- Someone with imagination

Are there any perks to the job?
The perks of the job are the rewards at the end of the term, the bribes, going on library trips, sweets and donuts.
I'm guessing you're all keen readers... how would you encourage others to use the library?- By reading your books and changing them as reading is not a punishment
- Reading is fun... you can learn so much
- I would get people to use the library to try and calm them down
- If you want to get more books to take out
- Say NEW BOOKS ARE COMING AND BETTER THAN BEFORE!
- Take more quizzes
- To help them get into a series of books
- We do quizzes
