Some Librarian seats open through a public exam and some through a private hire, and this page does not collapse them into 6 years of preparation. This Librarian page keeps 1876 degree route as the worked example and 6 years of preparation as the count held still, and it names ALA because that route has been discussed in public since 1876. It does not quote a live salary.
1876 degree route is one of those doors. ALA since 1876 may own only one of them, so the path page should say which door it means. Say that figure out loud, then open the path section on purpose. This is a reading of the Librarian route, not a hiring promise, not a salary ticker, and not a ruling by ALA.

Start with "The door of a public exam". For Librarian, the concrete case is 1876 degree route, and the count you hold still is 6 years of preparation. ALA is the body named here; 1876 is the reference year, so you are reading a published route rather than a pay board.
The next check is "The door of a private hire". Keep 1876 degree route in view while 6 years of preparation stays the unit, because mixing a different count would make the Librarian route look more precise than a statute. ALA has been the named body since 1876.
Pause on "Why they are not one count" before you treat a job title as a licence. 1876 degree route is the example, 6 years of preparation is the count, and ALA does not ask this atlas to hire anyone into Librarian. The reference year is 1876.
Close the loop with "Which door the page means". After you can say 1876 degree route and 6 years of preparation out loud, open the linked Librarian path. The anchors remain ALA and 1876. This page still does not forecast pay.
This page shows how to read the Librarian route around 1876. It is not a licence grant from ALA, not legal advice, and not a live pay quote.
