Question What is the best undergrad degree for a future librarian?
I am interested in working in the public library system.
I do not particularly care to go into management.
Answer Any major is really appropriate. However, many library professors encourage undergrads to major in English, education, or any of the social sciences. I invite you to visit my website, www.kiesermanconsulting.com, go the tab for Careers in Librarianship, and you will find some interesting articles on becoming a librarian.
