This internship report is a presentation of internship organized by Makerere University to allow students obtain practical training in their particular field of study and gain experience. I carried out my internship at the National Library OF Uganda (Kampala) from the 23rd of August 2021 to the 5th of November 2021 under the supervision of Mr. Amanyabyoona Raymond (field supervisor) and Mr. Ssenono Richard (University Supervisor). The internship report includes details of the student’s experiences; the position occupied the duties and responsibilities like shelving, cataloguing among others. The intern had a great relationship with the field supervisor characterized by independent working, trust, time management, feedback and support. Although he was just a student, the intern was permitted an equitable level of authority at the workplace. This report explains how Libraries are used and how important Libraries are in a country. It is more practical in the field and shows what is done in the real world. It enables students get hands on experience they are expected to work in when they graduate. Lastly under chapter four has the conclusion and recommendations. On the side of the intern, key strength was his possession of a wide range of library skills, computer skills while the key weakness was his little awareness about office etiquette. In the recommendations, future interns are advised to carry out their research from the National Library Of Uganda. This report shows assignments, strength, weakness and challenges I did encounter from the different departments of National Library of Uganda, conclusions and recommendations.
