Library Futures Interns Say…
Working with Library Futures was a great experience for me. It helped me understand the challenges that libraries are currently facing, and how to better advocate for freedom of information. My cohort had students from different fields, which allowed me to learn about their areas of study and collaborate with people who are passionate about libraries and intellectual freedom.
