Join the Illinois Library Association in showing just how important your library is!
On Wedensday, February 10, libraries across Illinois will be participating in Snapshot Day: A Day in the Life of Illinois Libraries. On this day, libraries of all types — public libraries as well as those at schools, colleges, and universities — will be gathering statistics that show just how in-demand libraries are. In addition, you’ll be able to fill out a very brief survey about your library visit, and even provide testimonials about how much you love your library. Libraries will also be encouraged to take pictures to create a photo record of just how popular the library is!
At the end of the day, the data and testimonials will be collected and compiled, and the Illinois Library Association and its members will begin sharing this information with elected officials at all levels, from the village board to the governor, to make sure they know just how valuable libraries are in Illinois today.
So the next time you’re at your library, encourage them to participate in Snapshot Day, and then return to the library on February 10 to make sure you’re counted!
