WebStars is a paid youth internship program in Marin County. Founded in 1999 at the Marin City Library, the program now provides hands-on training and work experience at three locations, South Novato, West Marin and Marin City.
  
South Novato Library/The Shop

Interns working at the South Novato Library will be working exclusively in our creative maker space known as the Shop. There they will be assisting the public with their projects. Patrons range in all ages from youth to adults and have a variety of projects in terms of style, and difficulty. Interns are responsible for helping patrons use the space effectively and safely. This includes knowing how to use the tools so they can teach patrons to do so on their own. The Shop can often be a loud and dirty environment with wood, paints, tools and so on. Interested applicants can expect those working conditions. 

Interns will be responsible for:

• Assisting patrons with projects
• Servicing tools

• Maintaining a clean workspace
