It pays to be a librarian

Commenting on the Government of Ontario's release of public servant salaries over $100,000, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) recently noted that it can pay to be a bookworm.

Fellow library science workers might want to note that the City of Toronto last year paid a city librarian $179,188. CTF Ontario Director Tasha Kheiriddin commented, "this certainly makes you wish you had taken library sciences more seriously as a career option." Well, I for one did but have yet to see that kind of pay off. (Here I thought private sector salaries were going to be higher than public sector? Silly me.) A benchmark for all you librarians to take to your next performance evaluation.
