Convent is another term for a monastic site, often one occupied by nuns. The word simply means "a community" or "a meeting".
There were always far more monasteries for monks than there were convents for nuns, and the number of women taking vows was always less than men. A convent might be headed by an abbess or prioress and it might be referred to as a abbey or priory, just like the monasteries of monks.

What was life like for a female librarian in the middle ages?
Public libraries were not introduced in the West until after the Middle Ages ended, so medieval librarians worked in private or institutional libraries. We can be sure that most librarians were not women. That said, there were assuredly libraries in convents, and the librarians were women. So, in answer to the question, I would have to say that in the Middle Ages, a female librarian mostly likely slept in a cell, wore a nun's habit, ate institutional food, and went to prayer several times each day.
