Another thing to consider: are you an employee or a contractor? If the latter, so make sure you ask for enough to cover additional taxes, and any benefits that you consider absolutely necessary, that would normally be paid by an employer.

The starting hourly wage for a librarian in New Jersey is $23.78/hour however, it also depends on your qualifications, i.e., degrees, certifications, etc. You will want to find out what the starting hourly wage of New York is but I would say ask for at least $20-24.
