I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at New York Public Library (New York, NY) in Oct 2018
Interview
The interview was very chill and not as scary as I thought it would be. It was more like a conversation about any previous experience, and then there was a short test in which I had to sort a list of titles by the Dewey Decimal system.
