Music Librarian careers

A Music Librarian manages collections of musical scores, recordings, and related materials in libraries, archives, or educational institutions. You might work in public, academic, or specialised music libraries. Music Librarians focus on cataloguing, preserving, and providing access to musical resources. You'll assist patrons in locating music-related materials, provide reference services, and may also support music education by organising events or lectures.

Music Librarians play a crucial role in preserving musical heritage and supporting research. You'll need to be detail-oriented, knowledgeable about music, and skilled in information management. You'll liaise with musicians, educators, and researchers to ensure the library's resources meet the needs of the community it serves.
