NJLA Internship Program

Internship applications are open. Apply by December 5, 2025.

The NJLA Internship Program offers graduate students enrolled in a Library & Information Science program the opportunity to become active in the New Jersey Library Association—the oldest library-focused professional association in the state. 

Each successful applicant will be appointed as an intern to a single committee or section for a term of the current NJLA year (ends June 30).

Interns will have the opportunity to attend meetings virtually; to network with peers and library leaders from around the state; and to participate in service learning.

Requirements for participation are:

  1. Enrollment in a Library & Information Science graduate program (or related program)
  2. Membership in NJLA
  3. No previous NJLA committee appointments

Interns are also required to attend three (3) virtual meetings with their Intern cohort throughout the year beginning with the Internship Orientation in late January. 

Please visit NJLA's Groups page for information about each committee and section.

Deadline: December 5, 2025. Limited openings available.
