NJLA Internship Program

 

Description

The NJLA Internship Program provides an opportunity for library school students to become familiar with the New Jersey Library Association, particularly its committees and sections; to network with peers and library leaders from around the state; and to participate in service learning. More information can be found here: NJLA Internship Program 

Application process

Any NJLA Member attending library school is eligible to apply for the NJLA Internship Program, assuming they have not previously been a member of a NJLA Committee. Interns are recommended by the chair of the Leadership and Education Subcommittee and appointed by the NJLA President.
