Dear fellow Hanoverians:
*National Library Snapshot Day is coming to John Curtis Free Library*
On Wednesday, April 18, John Curtis Free Library will join libraries
across the Commonwealth and the nation to provide a “snapshot” of
what happens in a day in the life of libraries. How many books are
checked out? How many people receive help finding a job? Doing their
taxes? Doing their homework? During Snapshot Day, libraries will
collect data and photos that help demonstrate the value of libraries
and raise public awareness that libraries are busier than ever. Over
the past decade, libraries in Massachusetts have experienced a
dramatic surge in usage, including a 50% increase in library visits
and a 29% increase in circulation.
Nationally, Snapshot Day is supported by the American Library
Association which will compile state data to provide a national look
at a day in the life of libraries. Massachusetts Library Snapshot Day
is presented by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners, the
Massachusetts Regional Library System, the Massachusetts Library
Association, the Massachusetts School Library Association, and Boston
Public Library.
For more information, please contact Christine Stefani, Reference
Librarian, John Curtis Free Library, 781-826-2972 x22 or
cstefani@ocln.org
