“According to Norma Blake, state librarian, “New Jersey is facing a critical shortage in librarians. It’s a great job both for women starting out, and also for women making a mid-life career change.”
“In the next 15 years, it is anticipated that 68 percent of librarians will retire and many public and school library jobs may go unfilled. There is already a shortage of children’s librarians in the state, and we are beginning to see shortages in reference, administration and other specialties as well. In addition, academic and special libraries, such as corporate libraries, are looking for librarians, particularly those who are very familiar with the Internet and information technology.” (from The TriTown News)
