Davion is the Wanda Fullmore intern at Lakeview Library. He is a senior this year at Madison East High School. He describes his internship as a good experience because he gets to work with all aspects of the library. He thought working in the library would be boring, but says it’s actually not that bad because “it isn’t just all books” like he expected. Before his internship, Davion says he didn’t realize everything the library offers to the community, he thought it was just a quiet place like the media portrays it to be.
During his internship he works with various kids programs such as lego club, shelves books and movies and also helps with the check in/out of books. His favorite part about working at the library is working with kids. Through his experience he has learned patience and how to prioritize tasks.Davion is a unique intern because he works with two different library locations, Lakeview and Goodman South Madison. He explains that the environment of both libraries is different from the other and it has been a good experience to work at both.
In the future, Davion wants to attend Georgia Tech to study architecture and engineering. He chose architecture because he has always liked to build things and used to play with legos as a kid. He also likes Math, Science and drawing, all major aspects of architecture and engineering.
