My Last Week on the Job
I’m excited to start applying for grad school and to continue my future in library sciences.
Nellie Morf '25 is interning both at the Lisbon Public Library and the Lisbon History Center in Lisbon, Iowa. At the library, she is assisting library staff with project development and execution, and at the History Center, she is focusing on accessibility of records to the public, including digitization and metadata considerations.

This internship has really taught me that I love being in a library setting. I definitely want to do this as a future career.

I'm a junior at Cornell College. I am the Secretary of BACO and am a part of lunch buddies. I also volunteer in the Cornell College Archives. I plan on attending grad school for my MLIS, following my graduation from Cornell. I either want to be a children’s librarian or an archivist. I am especially passionate about making sure that all kids feel represented in the books they read. Because of my passion for this, I started a little free library, in the first street community center. It focuses on just children’s books with diverse characters and themes. This could include but is not limited too: race, sex, gender, religion, family structure, and socioeconomic status.
I hope that I will get valuable experience in both a library and an archival setting. This will hopefully help me when applying to grad school. It will also prepare me for a job in either of those fields.
