The second career building events was a sharing online meeting for a young student librarian Page, Dianne. She is now working in the library of Brenau university, owning experience and big dream.“
To be a professional librarain must have a master’s degree, but librarian is not a job that you need to have specific plan or dream, just try it. It is good for your future career,” says Dianne. Dianne Page, who serves for Brenau students claimed that her job is to supply more resources in the library and make sure every comers can get the book they need. “Sometimes I have to go around the different states to get in touch with the book keepers. Bring back the books is my job. Sometimes I am just responsible to open the door and close the door druing a day.”
When we talk about the qualities a librarian should have, Dianna points out more than once that patience is one of the most important things. "You should have the right communication skills and patience. Because you're talking to a lot of people a day, it's normal for embarrassing things to happen, but I think it's more of an interesting experience." Dianne expressed her ambitions that she will try to learn more knowledge and have interest in working in public library in the future. At last, she enouaged students to seek for their real dreams, as long as they are what you want to try, just do it. However, librarians are still a good place to start.
