Trade glass panes with cartographers

Cartographers are easily the most broken villager in Minecraft. You can create a cartographer by placing a cartography table next to an unemployed villager.

While players can farm emerald using sugarcane to paper trade, the glass panes trade that unlocks at Apprentice is much better. They want 10 glass panes for 1 emerald. To make 16 glass panes, you need 6 glass blocks, which equates to 6 blocks of sand via smelting.
