It’s National Library Workers Day! Today is a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers. Stop by the Collins Library and say hello to staff whose work keeps your library up and running with the quality and level of service you have come to expect! We’re at your service!
Then on Wednesday, April 11, we’re celebrating LIBRARY SNAPSHOT DAY 2012! You’ll get a chance to participate in action-shot photos, and comment on what you like best about the library! Got a story? Tell us!
