Good grief you need a degree to run a library why? .__. I mean the job won't be that easy since theres a lot to keep track of but how much can you truly study?

Technically you don't need a degree to run a library... or to do most anything else you get a degree for...
But it helps to take the library classes so that you can learn some stuff that you need to know. And of course there's all the other stuff you won't learn until you are actually practicing it by doing your job in the library. Also chances are higher that you can get a paying job in a library if you have some degree in it.

I was looking at the Library Science Master's program randomly for fun, and I noticed that it's required there for the one getting the masters in library to have taken a programing class of some sort. I thought that was interesting.

I'm getting this degree because I need an associates degree in anything so that when I transfer to a university I will be Junior status, and be able to focus on my major rather than on all the general ed. It's cheaper that way.
The reason I chose library is because it seems to be more useful than the other two associates degrees I was planinng on getting, though I have recently decided that I want to get those other two degrees as well as it will only take a couple more classes that I already wanted to take to get the extra degrees.

One of the colleges that I attended I worked at the library as a student. That college required a degree in library science to be a librarian.
