Work at the Library During the Summer

DC Public Library is a host site for Mayor Marion S. Barry's Summer Youth Employment Program (MBSYEP). Every summer, youth work in the neighborhood libraries by helping customers, shelving books, and learning new skills to put on their applications and resumes. Youth applications become available in January.
