Yes - it is very important, and in most cases it is a fundamental requirement for this position.
Actually, I can't; you will need to complete your library science degree yourself :P
I am interested in colleges/universities in Michigan that offer a degree in Library Science.
Yes; you will be required to have an MLIS degree to be a library director.

Yes, it does.
Yes, a library of science degree is obtainable through online courses. Visit the site http://librarysciencedegree.org/ for more information and a list of qualifying schools you can apply to.
There are very few places that offer a bachelor's degree in Library Science, so you will probably want to get a master's in library science once you have your four-year degree. Ashford University offers both a BA and an MA if your local university does not have a Library Science program or you don't want to wait till you graduate.
Not all people who work within a public library have a library science degree. Different positions within the library will require different levels of education. Pages, for example, usually only need a high school diploma. Sometimes libraries will also have high school students working as student pages. Library assistants may need either a high school diploma or a library technology degree. Public libraries often have positions for people with other backgrounds, such as computing science. For these positions, a library science degree is not required. Otherwise, most other positions require a Master of Library and Information Sciences (MLIS) degree.
It is typically abbreviated as MLIS (Master of Library and Information Sciences, or Master of Library and Information Studies).
Any Degree + Master in Library and Information Science or Degree + BLISc
There are probably library science degrees online that you can get, however not all institutions offer this program and you must check with the institution prior to enrolling.
