Got you. Was it a library assistant position? Did they offer you any training if you wanted to become a librarian?
I suppose the situation will be different now and also across the pond. Just stuff I'm trying to work out over here lol

My official title was "Library Technician" because I had all of the same duties and responsibilities as folks that actually went to school for it without the degree. There was a point when they did almost 100% reimbursement for library science courses but too many folks abused it so they dropped it to like 50/50.
My only real advice is don't let them push you up the chain of command before you really understand what's going on at the circulation desk. I suppose that could be true in any job though. The higher ups forget what it was like to be a little person.
Well atm I can't even imagine getting the job at all, they are weirdly highly sought after AND badly paid jobs lol
