Abstract
“Librarians Around the World” is an online project where 34 participants from 19 countries
wrote an article about their study and work experience, about the library system, library
related organizations in their country or some interesting projects that they have, even
about problems that they deal with (no funding for library, expensive studies, struggle to
find work, etc.).
The aim of the project is to promote the librarian profession and to create an e-book about
librarians all around the world, library systems and education in different countries in order
to educate students and librarians about the libraries around the world. To tell high school
students about librarian profession, to tell government about our problems, to make the world
see that there are lots of awesome librarians out there. To show that we read (but not only!), do
researches, attend conferences, create awesome projects, that also we organize and attend parties
together and that sometimes one librarian has to be as an orchestra – to manage and to do everything – create events, catalogue books, buy new books, research, design, sing, dance, act, etc.
Let’s show the world that there are libraries and we need them!
