Librarians' duties and focus vary widely, but every librarian does much more than checking out books or reading all day, as is the popular public perception. Their duties can range from creating original cataloging records for items in library collections to creating entire taxonomies to order companies' data to using their expert skills to answer complex reference questions

 DDC has been criticized for being inadequate.   DDC's decimal system means that it is less hospitable to the addition of new subjects, as opposed to Library of Congress Classification which has 21 classes at the top level. Another side effect of this is that DDC notations can be very much longer compared to the equivalent class in other classification systems

Librarians spend a significant portion of time at their desks or in front of computer terminals; extended work at video display terminals . Assisting users in obtaining information or books for their jobs, homework, or recreational reading ,  working with users under deadlines. Some librarians lift and carry books, and some have to climb ladders to reach high stacks, although most modern libraries have readily accessible stacks. Librarians in small organizations sometimes shelve books themselves.

I think this is more a description of a library clerk. Librarians with a bachelors and esp. masters degree are more into the organization of the media in the library (BA) and do things like indexing to ensure findability (BA). Also they decide which books and journals suit the patrons and ensure accessibility of (electronic) documents (MA). Also they are into (long-term) archiving and cost/use calculations (MA)
