The Centennial Library is excited to welcome the 2015 Library Interns: Austin Becton, Allison Jensen and Rebekkah Reisner. The interns will participate in a variety of learning experiences and projects in order to develop an understanding of the operation of an academic library and to explore their interest in library science as a career.
