I've been married to a librarian for 28 years and concur with everything you've said.
She is in charge of digital services and staff training in our public library service, two things that changed pretty rapidly in the last eighteen months with branches being shut, then open, then shut but you can shove loans out the door, to open, then shut again, etc, etc.
From our dining room table she has been single-handedly[1] orchestrating postal deliveries of loans and access to all sorts of digital resources. During our extended lockdowns people said receiving a box of books, DVDs and such in the mail was like Christmas.
Many of us have a passion for technology, but she loves technology because it helps her in her passion for the community.
[1] I say single-handedly in jest because she had a dislocated wrist last year. There was huge coordination of many staff and services to make it all happen. It sounds good, though.
