Mentoring and shadowing are great ways to learn about librarianship and network. Pick a local chapter of an association focused on your area of interest to find a local librarian or archivist who is willing to show you the ropes of their library/institution, and make professional contacts.
GPLLA, the Philadelphia chapter of the American Association of Law Librarians (AALL) offers a mentoring program. Check their Mentoring page here (http://gplla.org/w/about/mentor-program/) to fill out a form and be paired with an experienced librarian.
