<b>POSITION AND DUTIES </b></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 4pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Interns are an integral part of the Southfield Public Library’s operations. An internship is available in the Community Outreach division. During an internship,
you will gain experience working on public service desks, providing reference and reader’s advisory service. You will assist patrons with their mobile devices and show them how to use our digital collections. Programming experience will be gained by assisting
librarians with library programs and learn to develop your own programs. You will learn collection development by being responsible for assigned collections. You will have an opportunity to create and maintain book displays. The overall goal of the library
internships is to provide students with real life library experience and guidance while working alongside professional librarians. </span></p>
