The O'Fallon Public Library is proud to partner with SIUE on making social work services available at the library.  This semester, a social work practicum student is present to help patrons connect to community resources, find counseling or rehabilitation services, get help with aid forms for housing utilities, food, employment and more! Here is more about our new Social Work Intern:

Hi, my name is Andrew, and I am the social work intern for the O'Fallon Public Library and am very excited to learn from and help patrons of the library. Currently, I am a senior at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville. I am a social work major. After completing my bachelor's in social work, I plan to continue my education and obtain a Master of Social Work degree. My plan for after I accomplish my educational goals is to work as a macro level social worker with a focus on diversity and social justice. I am from Godfrey, Illinois and enjoy spending my free time reading, playing video games, or playing with two rambunctious cats.
