You can go into library science from almost any undergraduate field. With your background in medical transcription, you could go into one of the few well-paying library jobs and be a medical librarian. The other big one for pay is law librarian. But most people don't have any particular specialty, especially in public libraries. New Jersey has put together a whole page of information: BecomeALibrarian.org.
Basically, there are 4 categories of librarians: public, school, academic (college), and special librarian, which basically translates to corporate/everything that is not in the first 3. Notice everything that pays well is in the last category.
You probably want to check out the possibilities in your state - the best site would be the Washington Library Association. There appears to be a library technician title that I was previously unaware of, and there is a bachelor's degree for that.
