Applications without cover letters will not be considered. In their cover letters, candidates should discuss their interest in librarianship and how this internship specifically will contribute to their career path, and highlight any relevant interests, skills, and knowledge.

While we will ask for 1-2 references from all finalist candidates, you do not need to include them in your application.

There will be two rounds of interviews, preliminary and final. Preliminary interviews will be conducted by phone and final interviews will take place over Zoom.
