The 21st Century Librarian internship grant program, sponsored by the Nebraska Library Association and Nebraska Library Commission, awarded grants totaling $20,250 to eighteen Nebraska public libraries in 2013. Students have been learning about library work as they shadow and assist with day-to-day operations and implement special projects.
 
In this session, participating libraries will share their experiences with the internship program, including successes and lessons learned. This session will also introduce the upcoming 2014 grant opportunity for internships, offered by the Nebraska Library Commission and made possible through a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
 
Presenters: Kathryn Brockmeier, Grant Program Manager, 21st Century Librarian Program, Nebraska Library Commission; Evelyn Ost and Saresse Clay, Rock County Public Library; MeMe Smith, Schuyler Public Library; Rose Barcal, La Vista Public Library.
