libraires et bibliothècaires

Question

In my dictionary, "un/une libraire" is a bookseller whereas a librarian is "un/une bibliothècaire". But in this exercise it seems the word "libraire" is used for a librarian. Is this the common usage in French and can "libraire" refer equally to one who works in a bookshop as well as one who works in a library?

Bonjour Paul,
The audio has now been replaced with the word "bibliothécaire". 
We're sorry it has taken this long for the recording to be amended.
Bonne journée !

Hi, just letting you know that (a month after your reply) this exercise still uses the word "libraire" to refer to the librarian.
