Library Internship Program

INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

General Information:
The Penn Libraries offer a number of internships in several departments throughout the library system. These internships provide graduate students in library science with the opportunity to gain on-the-job library training and experience in a large research university environment.

Qualifications vary by internship, but the one requirement for all interns is that you must be a current student in a library/information science program or related discipline.

Unless otherwise noted, all of our internships offer a salary of $15/hour, and a 20 hour per week commitment for one year.
