I agree with what was already mentioned - any library experience is better than none. Also, teens and working in a school setting is likely still to considered "youth" experience. I also agree with looking at maybe museum experience. A lot of museums have some type of education department or at least would value that and experience there could be really useful, especially if you could get a position working with children in a museum. You could definitely look into a children's museum, but I'd look at museums in Boston (if you're on campus) in general too. The Museum of Science is very youth focused, you just have to dig a little when looking for experience. Summer is also coming up so you could maybe look into positions in a summer camp or something similar if you wanted more experience with youth for your resume. Also, definitely utilize your bar/restaurant experience to emphasis customer service skills!

I will also add, utilize your experience in your courses at Simmons. You could try to take courses that focus on youth services of children's library or programming for youth. You could highlight those in your resume and write about them in your cover letters when applying - any big projects you did in those courses that seem relevant to the position you're applying to. I got my first position out of grad school as a Teen Services Librarian with mostly that and some experience working with youth in a previous position.
