OPPORTUNITY FOR INTERNSHIP

The National Epilepsy Foundation is offering an unpaid internship for a student in an MLS program who is interested in the healthcare and/or non-profit field.  The internship will offer an opportunity to work on a project rebuilding and redeveloping a library that is in need of radical change.
