I enjoyed the job other then the fact that most of my work was so impersonal, I did not get to communicate with others as much as I would – more...  have wanted to. Overall this interenship was a wonderful learning experience – less

This position was temporary. I was busy all the time doing things with processing fingerprint applications for school bus drivers. Co-workers were great to work with. Management was done very well. The hardest part of the job was leaving it. The position did not have enough of a work load for me to stay on any longer than I did.

My job as a librarian is so amazing each and everyday I was with the students. I have learned various ways and plans to teach all about library skills to the children.
