Establishing a practical work experience for federal library interns benefits both the agency and students looking for practical work experience. While developing a federal intern program can be challenging, there are options and examples available from a variety of federal agencies. With a combination of an understanding of what rules and regulations you need to follow and new program ideas and approaches, your library can create and benefit from rewarding professional development opportunities for future librarians.
