It's National Library Week (and Fine Free Week 😉), so keep an eye out this week as we post fun statistics about our branches, as well as information about different events, like National Library Workers Day and National Bookmobile Day! #librarieslead #nlw18 #nlw2018 #nlwd18 #librariesofinstagram #mymarionwv

Libraries aren’t optional. 🖤📚#morethanjustbooks #nationallibraryweek #librarieslead #librariestransform #nlwd18

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
