My name's Lora and I work in a public library. I like to read and do research. I help people finding books, magazines, videos, websites and other information. Another part of my work is to buy new books, magazines and movies for the library. I arrange books and other items so that people can find them.

A librarian also needs computer skills because most libraries have computers. I often also help people using the computer to find what they need.

The best part of my job is helping people. There are many kids who love reading. They sometimes ask me if I could help them to find an interesting book. But I also spend a lot of time at my desk or at the computer to enter data of books and people.

Making budgets and keeping records is a part of my job too, but I don´t like it very much.

I work full time, but there are two librarians who work part time at our library. People can come to our library from Monday to Friday. Opening hours are from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. On Wednesday and Thursday people can come to us from 10.00 am to 8.00 pm. Some librarians work weekends or evenings.

My friend Anna is a school librarian. She loves reading to children and teaching them about books and research. Anna works when school is open and she is off during school vacations.

Some librarians work in government, businesses and other places where people need to find information quickly.

You usually need a graduate degree in library science or information science to be a librarian.
