At the , librarian Denise Ignasky said that the library employs four pages that are high-school aged, and one of those positions is open.

"Jewish Family & Children's Service of Pittsburgh didn't get funding until a couple of days ago," Paula Kelly said. "The interns will be two refugee youth, a boy and a girl from Bhutan."
"The county awarded Jewish Family a contract for 10 to 12 refugee youth to work summer internships," explained Karen Rock, a retired English as a Second Language teacher at the , where many refugees live.
