Thanks to a grant that was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), with support from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI), the library was able to hire a Teen Summer Intern for the summer! We're excited to welcome Kat to the library's team. While here, Kat will learn all about library work, but will also spend time on a connected-learning project - a program based on one of her interests!
