On November 25, 2019, we welcomed the 2019-2020 Librarians of Tomorrow interns with an Opening Forum! As a Peer Leader intern, I was honored to assist with this event. The Librarians of Tomorrow internship program allows 10th-12thgraders who are interested in libraries to work behind the scenes at a BPL branch. As a former LoT intern, I can say that Opening Forums are awesome! As the event began, we all ate yummy food and began to meet the other cool interns and mentors present. After completing an icebreaker together, everyone settled into their seats and enjoyed listening to several library staff members as they elaborated on the important work their department does, from Outreach Services to the Business and Career Center. In particular, interns heard more about how pivotal libraries will be during the Census. Toward the end of the night, former interns, including myself, graced the stage to share our experience and emphasize how exciting this internship will be. After this forum, I feel an even deeper appreciation for the library and what it stands for. I can’t wait to attend more great events like these.
