Yes, I was about to mention that librarians at museums, schools, and
university libraries are also woefully underpaid. Because public libraries
are usually tax supported, the salary there is often higher. An example of
this was in Phoenix, Arizona. The entry level salary for a librarian at
Arizona State University was $21,000, while the entry level at the Phoenix
Public Library was $35,000.
