The library world is full of exciting possibilities for the experienced individual. From customary titles of uniformity such as librarian and library technician to specifically detailed titles such as cataloguer and research desk staff. To clear up any mythological conundrums about the title of Librarian and its standing in the world of libraries the hierarchical model below will provide some details. This is the usual setting for libraries.
1)LIBRARIAN - Requires both a baccalaureate or bachelors degree in any field as well as a Master's of Library Science
2)LIBRARY TECHNICIAN - A college diploma is the necessary means for entry.
3)PAGE(other staff) - Possibly some secondary education or volunteer or work experience but is not required.

Library
http://www.nikonians.org/html/resources/reference_library/pix/library_of_congress_reading.jpgLibraries influence the culture of a specific area through any number of ways. They create a collective environment for groups of patrons to discuss and experiment with ideas. Information can be observed and borrowed in a variety of mediums to cater to specific needs. Children can seek solace in reading times put on by qualified professionals. During this time, their parents can adhere to their own needs as they leaf through the current newspaper or browse the latest paperbacks. Essentially a library's main goal is the administration of intellectual wealth. It provides the tools and the blueprints leaving the patron with an undefined path towards this wealth.
