www.ala-apa.org ALA-APA News Career Advancement Certification ... Work/Life Rural Library Compensation, The Vermont Initiative By Jessamyn West "Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation." -Walter Cronkite The first librarian job I applied for in Vermont was part-time, and advertised as paying $12/hour. They were hoping to get someone with a Master's Degree but were prepared to be reasonable. This was in 2002. When I asked the Trustees if there would be any money available for professional development, I could see that I was talking myself right out of a job. The library closest to me in Vermont pays $8/hour and is open 16 hours a week. It's a lovely library, but I can't afford to work there. The state of Vermont is a rural state, one with a staunch commitment to libraries as a public good. It has almost 200 public libraries, employing just under 300 people as librarians and library workers. In 2002, forty-five of these employees had their MLS. Vermont’s libraries cost roughly $12 million to operate in 2001, 99% of which was provided by local sources. In many cases, library staff's salaries are the first or second largest expense of running a rural public library. Salary increases in these situations do not just involve asking for a larger share of the budgetary pie, but requesting and justifying a raise in the town's tax rate, or cutting of other town services. In a survey of rural librarians done by Rural Libraries journal in 2000, librarians were asked, "Why have librarians historically been underpaid? The number one reason given was “The community lacks funds” followed closely by “The public does not value librarians.”

A long-term professional development collaboration between Cuyahoga Community College and Kent State University has resulted in 70 staff members taking KSU courses, with 25 admitted to doctoral programs (Anglin, 1992). SPECIFIC FACULTY NEEDS In Fall 1991, thirteen Fullerton College faculty began a program to enhance teaching excellence in evening classes. These faculty attended workshops on adult learners, learning styles, classroom assessment techniques, and interactive teaching techniques. The following Spring, they applied these techniques to their evening classes. Students were surveyed at the beginning, middle, and end of the semester to assess program effectiveness while the faculty continued crucial monthly meetings to share ideas (Kelly, 1992).
