The interviewer will want to hear why you are interested in being a librarian and why you want to work at that particular library. They will be looking to hear that you've done your research and know about specific programs, are familiar with their selections, or you are impressed by their offerings for the community they serve. Whatever it is that has drawn you to a particular library, be specific with your interviewer and share your love for books and their specific library.

"I want to work for this library because I have always been an avid reader, and I grew up coming to this library. I was molded by the books I borrowed here and the programs that supported me to be a lifelong learner. I remember participating in your programs like the summer reading program and Battle of the Books when I was in school; I have been transformed by characters in books I've loved and by several authors. I would love to pass on that future generations and inspire a love for learning in the community."
