If working on Sunday is not a requirement (or if libraries are closed that day), then the requirement of working on Saturday (I really don't understand what it exactly means!) is in fact VERY MUCH discriminatory.

Until now I have been in an academic library and have had no problems at all with shabbat or holidays. Is it possible for an Orthodox person in the NJ/NY area to work in the public library system? Here in Cincinnati and N. Kentucky, I was told that working on Saturdays is a requirement for all applicants, which is an allowable expectation because they are not discriminating against any specific religion. Thanks for chiming in (anecdotal evidence will be welcomed as well!)
