Today I met Sarah who is the preservation librarian. Her job is very interesting and includes preservation, security for the rare materials, telling people how to handle them and dealing with protecting them from damage. She started as a Art History major and fell in love with libraries. As a child, her father was interested in antiques which rubbed off on her now since she is dealing with books that are very old. Whenever she travels and there is a library or museum that she goes to she gets to go behind the scenes because she tells them where she works and what she does, which is a great advantage. For example, she went to the New York Public Library and the staff let her see what they do. One thing that she enjoys about her job is that it feels good to save cultural history. One goal that she has is to have the collection in good condition. She also enjoys discovering or finding new and cool things while working on a project that she can share with other librarians. She stated that her job is a lot of work, but it is very rewarding.
