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.

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.
