Hi everyone. Today is the day I have chosen at my own library to conduct Library Snapshot Day. I've gotten some really interesting comments from patrons and teachers (they write them for me on little paper hearts). I've also been getting a good headcount, with lots of story times for preschoolers, religious school classes, meetings being held in the room, and plain old patrons they're all building up my number nicely!
I just wanted to encourage each of you to choose a day and do a headcount, even if you don't do anything else for Library Snapshot Day. Even if it's a rough estimate, it's helpful. We just want to end up with a wonderful aggregate number so that we can say something along the lines of "on a single day in November, x number of people made use of their Jewish libraries" and have that number be something impressive! Technically, it won't be all on the same single day, but it averages out and creates a broad general picture of what AJL libraries have to offer. Be sure to email your head count number (and/or anything else about your Library Snapshot Day) [email protected]. Thanks for your help, everyone.
