The application period for the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Bureau of Libraries 2026 Teen Internship program is open. The deadline to apply is Friday, February 13, at 4 p.m.



Selected libraries will receive funding to hire a paid summer intern that reflects voices and perspectives within their communities. Interns will design and lead a community-focused Connected Learning Project that highlights their skills, interests, and experiences. Library mentors will engage with and support interns while also opening career pathways into the field of librarianship.

Up to $2500 in funding is available for each of the Wisconsin public libraries chosen to participate in the program that runs from June 1 to August 31, 2026. This is expected to be a competitive process, and not all applications will be accepted into the program.   
The Teen Internship is supported by the Institute of Museums and Library Services with Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funding and is conditioned upon the availability of government funds which may be limited for any reason including, but not limited to, congressional, legislative, gubernatorial, or administrative action.
