National Library Worker's Day

“National Library Workers Day recognizes the importance and contributions of the library staff who keep our libraries running while we get lost in the wonderful books. Libraries are more than a place for borrowing books, they reflect the needs and expectations of our community. And library workers are the ones fulfilling those needs and expectations by making information, books, and resources more accessible. Libraries work because they work!” - (from National Today) 

📚 HAPPY NATIONAL LIBRARY WORKER’S DAY TO OUR EMRLS STAFF AND OUR FELLOW LIBRARY WORKERS ACROSS THE WORLD! WE APPRECIATE YOU! 📚
