Advancement Prospects
Experienced children's librarians may advance by taking a position in a larger school district or in a larger library system. Others, with additional education, may become library directors or library educators.
Some children's librarians pursue careers in other fields. Children's author Beverly Cleary and First Lady Laura Bush are two examples of famous former children's librarians. Others may use their experience in the field to work as consultants to publishing companies or develop blogs or podcasts about books and/or their profession.
