So we put in the orders and then the books arrive and we distribute them to different locations.

So it's really about managing budget, making sure that we're meeting the demand, meeting the interest of Calgarians.

So it's a pretty fun job to be able to buy books.

Yeah.

So typically librarians have a master's degree.

My degree is in a master's of library and information studies.

There are some that are masters of information, but so yeah, librarians and all of our selectors would have a master's degrees in information.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's something that a lot of people don't realize.

Yeah.

So I think

Um, I did my degree quite a long time ago now, but some of the things that we, we talked about were, well, so we learned about sort of search strategies.

How do you find information?

How do you make it available to people?

One of the really important, I think, things that we talk about in library school is intellectual freedom and that importance of, of making all information available, whether or not you personally agree with it.

So, um, I think that, uh, these days there's lots of focus on programming and, and, um,

reaching all kinds of different people in your community?

How did you outreach to reach people who maybe can't come into the library?

So yeah, it was a really interesting degree and something I think that not a lot of people realize exists.
