Yes, but you can work in a library without being a librarian. Check out code4lib. It’s a (free online) techie conference with associated slack channel, and it’s for folks that, roughly, code for libraries. Tbh, I think the techie route to working in a library is easier than the master’s degree.
Source: engineering undergrad, have my mslis, work in a library, current position doesn’t require an mslis.
yea its a requirement for libraries, Universities might be more competitive, since you likely need another area of expertise to complement your resume to.
does it have to be a masters in librarian? ive got this engineering degree i wouldnt mind using for something a little less corporate.

Yup. MLS or MLIS.
