Newberry Library

Events Office

June - September 2018 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

I loved having a schedule to my summer and feeling like I was helping the library in my own way. I was able to make the events at the library happen in an orderly fashion, to prepare the library for their weekend weddings, to look through historical archives of events to plan for future events, and to practice how to communicate professionally through e-mails and phone calls.

What I wish was different

I wish I could have worked there longer, and I do wish the internship was paid, but the experience was still fulfilling and I don't have any regrets.

Advice

Be prepared to do a lot of data entry, but don't worry! There are a lot of other interesting things we did as an office that got me on my feet!
