I sub in IL and in the elementary schools in my area the media specialists appear to be somewhat like a teachers aid type of position with similiar pay? I have subbed a little and enjoy the position as the media specialist, but did not realize that they also assisted with lunch and playground duty, before and after school duty etc. like the teachers aids do. I am wondering if this is common and do they still require a librarian degree for these positions? Perhaps varies from state to state or ?

In Michigan it depends on the district..... in the district where I taught, the library was run by a parapro who was paid hourly. In other districts, they have media specialists with MLS degrees, who are on the teachers' salary schedule.
