I think the most important skills you need are the ability to relate to people and help them with their research problems, knowledge of how to access information using computers and various data bases, microfiche, microfilm, the Dewey Decimal System, and all resources available in that library. Eventually, people will learn, especially students, that the librarian is a wealth of information and knowledge and is absolutely their best friend when they need assistance accessing sources to retrieve information.
Good luck!!

I have worked in a Library, and not much skill is needed but knowing how to file, type, and use of spreadsheets would definetly help you out.

Filing, data entry, clerical, ability to alphabetize books. I do know that some librarians need degrees. I don't know why, maybe there's something I don't know about
