Public Libraries Invited to Apply for Student Internship Grants

Nebraska Library Commission continues to offer grants to libraries for student internships. Each grant will provide a $1,000 student stipend, financing approximately one-hundred hours spent working with library staff on a variety of projects and activities. Funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services Librarians for the 21st Century initiative, the internship grants introduce promising high school and college students to the varied and exciting work of Nebraska libraries. We are very interested in learning more about student interns in Nebraska libraries. What tasks are they assigned? How is it working for the intern, as well as for library staff and customers? If your library has received a grant and hired an intern, comment below to share your reactions.
