Gilroy Library highlights paid internship program as staff recognize new intern
Summary
Commissioners introduced and thanked a new Gilroy Library intern, Sarah Siden, and discussed the library’s paid internship cohort run in partnership with San Jose State, emphasizing mentorship, rotations across departments and outreach experience.
The Gilroy Library Commission on Aug. 12 recognized a new library programming intern and used the moment to describe a sustained, paid internship program run with San Jose State. "It's been a great experience," the intern, Sarah Siden, said, noting she has rotated through adult reference and children's services and appreciated mentorship from library staff.
Commissioners said the paid internship cohort — about eight or nine participants who have a home branch but rotate among district libraries and the bookmobile — gives recent graduates hands-on experience and helps the library expand outreach. "These are paid internships...we really see this as an investment," a commissioner said, urging the panel to continue using the program to recruit future librarians.
