I hold multiple degrees and have decades of minimum wage work experience, as well as some volunteer experience. I recently began a second master's degree as my first master's, education, does not fit my career goals any more, save for using it towards working at a university down the road.
My graduate school for library science offers paid or unpaid internships, which I plan on utilizing one way or another, yet this is for advanced students at least halfway through the program. My career path is that of a digital archivist. I recently finished some coursework in library science. In multiple classes, many of the students who have yet to graduate already work full-time in libraries. While I can wait out for an internship which won't come for many months or a year, at least, I know experience helps. How do I score a library job, entry-level library assistant for instance, with no prior experience?

Check the College-Work Study department at your school, the in-house career center that assists students with getting employment, and then speak with someone in the library department that can lead you to the right individual as a student or as an employer. Check to see if your university has these opportunities available.
I thought that in that Comune worked competent persons
@Jesse Jacobs Hello Jesse, personally I think the best thing you can do is to apply for the position anyway. You appear to have an impressive background and skills, I can’t imagine why they wouldn’t hire you, I’m sure your combined degrees and experience would make you more than an adept addition to any library team.
If one doesn’t work out, I’m sure another one will. Good luck! 👍🏼
