Teen Summer Internship

For more than a decade, the County Library has hired teen and young adult interns during the summer to work in branches and with departments that support our system. The Summer Internship program continues to expand with a variety of opportunities to learn how the library runs, gain career experience, and enjoy a fun and flexible summer work environment.

Most County Library branches host at least one intern each summer. In 2024, the Human Resources and Lifelong Learning departments also welcomed interns, offering exciting opportunities to assist with large-scale events and creative programming.
