Pros
It's fulfilling. Helping patrons is very satisfying and the day flies by. Not all library locations are high-energy like ours. Other locations are quite boring to be honest. However, there are so many roles to be filled in a public library and career advancement is achievable if you're willing to work for it.
Cons
A county library system is low pay. Very low pay! The skills required however are significant and the two definitely don't align. In a given day we run programs and events for people of all ages, do all marketing in-house, manage databases, write and manage grants, support patrons with a multitude of technology issues, and much more.
