@JoscelynTransient yes. “Paraprofessional” not that they use that word much. I have a BA in art history. That’s it. Often they will ask for a library degree and library experience, but also will accept related experience. The bigger money comes with a degree, of course, but you can get hired without. You can also start at the bottom…. Volunteering while applying, and have a goal of pursuing a library degree in the future. It’s all wiggly. Look at all the places near you or where you can be, if no jobs listed, sign up for job interest cards, which is merely an email saying, “oh hey, a job came up in library work, interested?” Fill those out because it can take awhile for jobs to open, and it open and close fast. I got a job as an on-call, started being offered regular shifts, then permanent part time. Every library will be different. That said it’s a pretty nice crew of people, and the public where I am at now.
Library degrees can be cheaper in other states, online. Community colleges sometimes offer a library tech certificate (easy like an AA or less). Also age doesn’t matter. I think your languages could be selling points depending on the area and population a library serves, I can’t look back at what else you had written but it would be easy to sell yourself as an asset. Youth programming, public experience, etc
College libraries, museum libraries, law school libraries, public and state libraries. I did a short stint at a medical school, and that was a blast.

@JoscelynTransient join the library world! Those are some mad skills there!
Vaguely…. Something in universities/colleges with international students.
