Thanks to Tom Tribble with the Blue Ridge Audubon Chapter for his fantastic presentation last week about birds of western North Carolina!
Today is Library Workers Day, a time to highlight and reflect on the numerous ways library staff use their skills and expertise to impact lives everyday!
The Library of North Carolina collects annual statistical reports from state aid supported public libraries and last year, NC public library staff on average:
-answered 1,329 information requests per staff member
-managed 18,862 check-outs of library materials per staff member
-welcomed 6,483 community visitors per staff member
And so much more behind the scenes, making sure facilities are safe and clean, materials are available, and technology is accessible.
Yesterday, we kicked off our Library Week celebration with a staff book character day!
