Events and Venues Intern

Description

The SJCPL Events and Venues team is looking for a motivated, creative, and engaged person to help us manage and maintain the new events space at Main Library.

• You will have accomplished a capstone project that contributes to the mission of the Library, has an impact on the community, and can be used in your resume or portfolio.
• You will have made a difference.
• You will have had an amazing summer with some of the coolest Librarians on the planet.

• Assist with event set ups
• Consult with patrons about their event needs 
• Learn about audio-visual equipment and assist with set up.
