A Librarian is a professional that is responsible for choosing, organizing, and educate an individual on how to use the resources effectively and efficiently.

Some of the major roles and responsibilities of these professionals include the following:

• To select, develop, catalogue and classify library resources

• Ordering new inventory from book supply companies
• They also ensure that library services meet the needs of particular groups of users
