Excerpt from Training for Librarianship: Library Work as a Career

Just now, when conditions are right for rapid library extension in the United States, there is a shortage of librarians. A large city library recently reported more than two hundred vacancies on its staff, Other libraries, large and small, are suffering from similar conditions. Positions ranging in salary from $1500 to $3000 have been vacant for months because of the difficulty in finding the right person for each position. Directors of library schools are overwhelmed with requests for trained people to fill vacancies in all parts of the country.

This is discouraging to library progress. The town, city, county or industry about to establish a library loses interest when it learns that a library in a neighboring community has been without a librarian for several weeks or has been forced to engage an inexperienced, untrained substitute.
