FILL is an SCLC program designed to promote public librarianship through paid ($2000) internships or practica at SCLC libraries.

Library school students are mentored by professional librarians while completing either a 120 hour internship (UCLA) or 135 hour practicum (SJSU) during a single school term. Students enrolled in a distance learning program that is accredited by ALA are eligible to participate in FILL, and should contact their internship coordinator.

FILL is funded by SCLC and local participating public libraries.
