Wake County Public Libraries is currently accepting applications (now through November 11) for our Holleman Internship Program. We have four positions available starting this winter, and anticipated start dates are in January. I would appreciate your help sharing this opportunity with your library school students!
WCPL offers MLS students a one-year paid internship with a focus on popular collections and programming. WCPL internships are designed to:
- fulfill the intern's education requirement
- enable the intern to observe and understand the workings of the public library environment
- give the intern hands-on experience with core public library services and operations
- provide meaningful focused activities in the intern's specific area of interest
- provide the library with valuable assistance in conducting programs, implementing projects and performing core services
For additional information regarding this opportunity, please see the attached position fact sheet.*
To apply, students should visit this page on our website: https://www.wake.gov/departments-government/libraries/about-wcpl/jobs-careers-wcpl/internships-wcpl and follow the instructions.
In years past, we have offered a virtual information session about out internship program, but this year we decided to try something new. We pre-recorded an information session and are happy to share that presentation upon request. Students can email us at wcplinternships@wake.gov to request the recording.
Thank you so much for your time and for helping us to connect MLS students with this valuable opportunity to gain practical public library experience while getting paid for it!
