SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In an effort to “build the capacity of a diverse, skilled workforce for the library community,” the Idaho
Commission for Libraries (ICfL) provides grants of $1,000 to public libraries to support an intern for the
summer of 2021.
The McCall Public Library would like to submit an application to this grant program to provide a stipend
of $1000 for one 2021 summer intern. Applications from high school / young adult intern candidates will
be recruited via Heartland Alternative High School, McCall Rotary Club, and the West Central Mountains
Economic Development Council’s workforce development efforts. The ideal candidate will be bilingual in
Spanish/English in order to help the Library target outreach to Spanish speaking families. The selected
intern will provide assistance to the Library’s Summer Reading Program (14 programs over a span of 7
weeks), help deliver mobile Book Bike services, and assist with the Library’s annual inventory process. If
the grant is awarded, the internship will begin June 14, 2021 and conclude August 16, 2021.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submittal of Idaho Commission for Libraries Grant application for a Library intern and authorize
the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
