Well for Library posts in academia or special libraries, your first degree
may very well be relevant or required. Although not everyone will end up
working with subjects that directly match their first degrees, subject
knowledge is useful in many areas of the job, such as answering enquiries,
liaising with academics, developing user education or managing stock.
Besides, I didn't know that I was destined for the excitement that is
Librarianship when I was filling in my UCCA form. ;-)
