Abstrakt:	Public libraries are increasingly faced with patron psychosocial needs, including mental health problems, substance use, homelessness, or poverty-related needs. Since library staff are often not trained to address these needs, many are choosing to host on-site social work practicum students to provide information and referrals for patrons presenting with psychosocial needs. However, little existing guidance is available about initiating a social work practicum placement, which can leave libraries unprepared and often "reinventing the wheel." This manuscript provides guidance on the steps that should be considered by libraries intending to host their first social work practicum student. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
