Happy National Bookmobile Day! We love our bookmobile! Did you know: Bookmobiles provide many of the same services as your local library branch! You can search the web, read a newspaper or magazine, take classes, and check out books, DVDs, or even video games! Bookmobiles provide services to a wide variety of places, including schools, senior centers, adult education centers, employment agencies, day care centers, rehabilitation facilities, and correctional institutions. Today’s bookmobiles are “green” vehicles that use less fuel and have cleaner emissions. They take many cars off the road by bringing library resources directly to the communities they serve. #bookmobile #nationallibraryweek #nlw18 #librariesofinstagram

It's National Library Worker's Day! Fond of a staff member at one of our branches? We'd love to hear about your experiences! Comment Below, or visit http://bit.ly/2H8eJGA ----- What is National Library Workers Day? NLWD is a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers. On January 25, 2003, a resolution was proposed: That in order to recognize the hard work, dedication, and expertise of library support staff and librarians that the Tuesday of National Library Week be designated National Library Workers Day; and, that on that day, interested library workers, library groups, and libraries should advocate for better compensation for all library workers and, if the day coincides with Equal Pay Day, these individuals, groups, and libraries should recognize both days together. #nlwd18 #nlw18 #nationallibraryweek #nationallibraryworkersday #loveyourlibrary #librariesofinstagram @alaapa
