This week our special guest is Jeffrey Merino who discusses the process of pursuing a master of library science and a career as a bilingual school librarian. Jeffrey has experience as a bilingual school librarian for a Kindergarten through 5th grade elementary school. He has also taught in the classroom as a dual language educator.
In this episode we discuss: How an undergrad job as a research data collector led to him working in elementary schools and switching his major to elementary education. The need for more bilingual school librarians, male librarians, and queer librarians. The benefits and challenges of being a school librarian and the many skills that librarians learn related to research, technology, and leadership. And advice on how to find library science programs and the wide range of careers you can pursue with that degree.
