Connecticut is home to many colleges and universities, as well as public libraries. This makes the state one of the best states a librarian must go to when she needs a job. The best thing about libraries in Connecticut is how they improved to keep up with the changes of times. You will not only find books and encyclopedias, they also have e-books and e-magazines. Their wages are higher than most states. Then again, their cost of living rates might slash too much from what they earn.
