  • Be a Kid Librarian for a Week. What is a “Kid Librarian?” Hey there book lovers! Ever wondered what it's like to be a librarian? Well, as a Kid Librarian, you get to create a super cool display of books on any theme you choose. You can include graphic novels, audiobooks, DVDs, games, or anything else that people can check out at the library. Your awesome display will be up for everyone to see for two whole weeks! How do I become a Kid Librarian? It's easy! Just ask for an application at the library. Once you fill it out, you’ll have a fun interview with the director to talk about your theme. Then, for one amazing week, you’ll be the Kid Librarian, and your display will be the star of the kids' room! So get ready to share your favorite books and ideas with everyone!
