Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
There is no specialized certification available for music librarians. If you plan to work outside of music librarianship as a school librarian, you are required to earn teacher's certification in addition to preparation as a librarian. You may also be required to earn a master's degree in education. Various state, county, and local governments have set up other requirements for education and certification. Contact the school board in the area in which you are interested in working for specific requirements. Your public library system should also have information readily available.
