“Yes, I can help you find all the books.” “No, I don’t spend all day reading them.”  We recently asked librarians amongst the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the most frustrating misconception people have about their job. Here are the enlightening results!

1. That your job is stress-free

2. That technology has made your job redundant

3. That you spend your days reading

4. That you either look like this…

5. Or like this:

6. That if your focus is children’s books, it’s all playtime

7. That you only work in libraries or public schools

8. That you don’t need an advanced degree

9. That the job is easy

10. That you’re technology averse

11. That you have to be of a certain age

12. That you’re a bunch of prudes

13. That you’re an introverted loner

14. That libraries are basically an endangered species
