Brooklyn Public Library recently launched its newest internship program, StoryTeen! Our first cohort of teens come from neighborhoods across Brooklyn and NYC. Over the next six months they will learn about the art of storytime, assist with programs for young children, and learn about early literacy.
Our interns speak many languages--English, French, Hindi, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, Russian, and Urdu to name a few--and you may even spot them during one of our multilingual storytimes. StoryTeen is made possible through City’s First Readers, an initiative of The New York City Council.
StoryTeen is just one of several internship programs available at the library. Others include Librarians of Tomorrow and Today's Teens, Tomorrow's Techies. For a full list of volunteer and internship opportunites, see: https://www.bklynlibrary.org/support/volunteer
