Description |
|
|
Each accredited Nebraska public library that receives a grant from the Nebraska Library Commission will hire one or more individuals (high school age and up) to serve as interns. The library will assign a supervisor/mentor who will design a program that will expose the intern to a wide variety of things that libraries do. The intern will work at the library while being introduced to the range of opportunities for library employment and education. The supervisor and the intern will report on their experiences. |
|
|
So, what can your library do with the internship program? Share your enthusiasm for library education and the library profession. Expand your programming. Bring in fresh faces. Show interns what happens behind-the-scenes. Partner with other library types to show the variety of work settings. |

The Nebraska Library Commission’s Cultivating Rural Librarians’ 21st Century Skills program offers support to accredited public libraries for student internships. Through a partnership with the Nebraska Library Association and funded through a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program, the internship grants increase awareness about the library profession and the opportunities for employment in Nebraska libraries. To learn about other libraries' experiences, view the recording of the January 12, 2011, NCompass Live session Internships: A Good Fit for Your Library? |
