Funny you should mention librarians. It is not uncommon for any role which is titled "librarian" to require a masters of library science / information science.

Other roles are commonly called "Information Specialist" or assorted similar titles (example: https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/recruitment.html?cid=32cd786e-c6b9-4eee-afc2-3fdbcaeb90cb&ccId=19000101_000001&jobId=391896&lang=en_US&source=CC4 https://workforcenow.adp.com/mascsr/default/mdf/recruitment/...).
* Picked this library at random. I'd imagine smaller cities are a bit more flexible here, but I'd still take an even money bet that anyone who is under 45 at any library at random with the formal title of "librarian" has a masters degree.
