Snapshot Day 2023
What happens on a typical day in a public library? How many visits do you see? How many books are checked out? How many patrons come to use the computers to look for a job or use the internet? How many visitors look to the libraries for answers to their questions? Snapshot Day is a “snapshot” of the library day by collecting data, photos and stories from all visitors who use services provided by their local library. The overall goal is to educate legislators, administrators, and the general public regarding the important services that libraries provide on a daily basis.
