"Library Directors in municipalities under 4,000 people are not making a professional minimum. Those working in locations in the 4,001—6,000 band are making barely above that minimum, at just $29.00 per hour... Library Directors in just 14% of the Vermont libraries [are] making a wage that is meaningfully in excess of the minimum to meet basic needs for a single person."
