I started a library course last year, but I didn't feel like I was smart enough so I dropped out. It sparked a fascination with libraries, though. Prior to that I always found them too confusing and scary to be in much (like a foreign planet with its own set of arbitrary rules and order).
I'm intrigued! Why did you sign up for the course? Was it grad school or undergrad?
Basically, because my friend told me she thought I'd be good at it, and I had no idea what I wanted to do. It was grad school - a 1 year diploma that I dropped out 1/2 way through.
There's no way you're not smart enough, cuz it's not rocket science. Maybe like any other subject, you got a bad teacher who would obfuscate to pump up their own ego. I would be HAPPY to answer ANY questions you have about libraries, or I can refer you to some published library guides.
Thank you! I still really want to work in a library, but maybe as a technician or something (but like you, I have trouble with the interview process). About the teacher thing - I can never tell when they are doing that! Completely mind-blind lol. But I think I would have trouble with the searching that you have to do as a librarian. I would find it hard to know where to start and difficult to brainstorm on the spot while attending to patron, etc.
That's kind of funny what you wrote about the foreign planet, cuz that's MY planet! I know this is an Aspie thing, but I LOVE rules, and organization, and my favorite place on earth {sic} is the library, where rules and organization lead you to knowledge. Ahhhhh. I'm sorry if you've had some bad run-ins with library staff. For the most part, I think they're the best people on earth (the Aspies, at least). I've been out of school for fifteen years now (SOB) but back then I was very irritated by the NTs in charge of the library, not to mention that I just couldn't get past them in the interview process, such that I've always been a free-lance librarian.
The people in my course all seemed rather wonderful, kinda nuts but also very tolerant, kind and funny. Probably lots of aspies! Yeah, I've had bad experiences with library staff. But I'm learning to navigate the places better now. Thanks for your reply! 
I love books ! I've been writing since I was 4 and began reading at 2 and a half. I go to the library every week. One career path I'm intersted in is being a librarian and want to major in Library Sciences. PM me sometime so we can chat some more. You rule ^^
I love books, and I can stay in the library forever! I like to go to the library, but I haven't been there recently, because the pile of books on my nightstand is quite high, I should read those first
(it's quite funny actually, my brother can't seem to understand why I like books so much... )
