Required: Interns must be enrolled in or recent graduates of an ALA-accredited MLS program.

Schedule: Interns must work a minimum of 10 hours a week, with an ideal schedule being 15-20 hours per week. Internships begin in late August and run through early December. Interns must be available between 10am – 4pm, Monday – Thursday.

The specific project will be determined at the start of the internship based on the intern’s skills and interests, as well as the library’s needs.

Expectations: The interns will conduct themselves in a professional, courteous manner, receive training, and adhere to a weekly schedule.
