Kent District Library Summer Intern

May - August 2019 • Walker, MI

What I liked

I had marvelous coworkers who were always kind and supportive. Since I had worked here for the past few summers, I had a lot of autonomy in my job. I also was in charge of a lot of fun and different programs, but I especially loved running outreach programs.

What I wish was different

N/A

Advice

Immerse yourself in every aspect of it and get to know your fellow librarians. They have a wealth of knowledge.

Library Intern

June - August 2018 • Wyoming, MI

What I liked

Everyone was very friendly. It's a fun environment and everyday there was always something fun and new that was happening.

What I wish was different

More things to do once everything is done. It's nice to have downtime but some days, it's just very slow and there's not much to do once the list of things were done.

Advice

Be prepared to improvise on situations. You sometimes work with kids and you got to roll with what some of the kids do to have fun and work with their experiments and creations during some sessions.
