Abstract

This paper traces the career options available to children's. school, or young adulr librarians by talking with a number of individuals who were originally youth librarians but who now hold positions in administration and education.

Included are responses concerning the importance of work in professional associations, reasons for changing positions. and career advice for other librarians.
