As a Librarian can I join the Author Program or do I need to create a separate account?

[Rê]

I'm a goodreads librarian, but I'm also working on and going to self-publish a graphic novel, and I was wondering if, once it's published, can I set up my author page and join the author program? Or does my account having librarian status prevents me from claiming it and it's necessary to create a separate account with another e-mail?
I've been using goodreads for a couple of years now, and I have accumulated quite the amount of books on my shelves (almost 5000), and, though I know I could export that data to the new account, the idea of having to add each book I read from then on to two accounts seems tiresome. Specially because there isn't a way to stay connected into two accounts at the same time, and I'd have to keep logging on and logging off all the time.

You can become a GR author with this account, but you will lose your librarian status.

If you wish to keep the accounts separate, you will need to create a new one with another e-mail address.
