National Library Workers Day Press Release

Taken verbatim from the ALA-APA

Tell Everyone About the Stars in Your Library for National Library Workers Day

National Library Workers Day is Tuesday, April 4th. Let’s celebrate the wonderful work of library employees on that day because, after all, Libraries Work Because We Do. Tell everyone what makes a library employee special in your library by submitting your favorite worker to the NLWD Stars Web site - www.ala-apa.org/about/nlwdstarsform.html. NLWD Stars will be featured on the National Library Workers Day site from March until the end of June. Stars will also be honored at the ALA Annual Conference. Download the free NLWD poster from http://www.ala-apa.org/about/nlwd_poster.pdf, which tells your patrons, trustees, and colleagues how to submit a Star. Self-nominations are accepted. The deadline for submission in April 4th.

There is still time to order NLWD buttons that proclaim “Libraries Work Because We Do.” Visit the Web site or contact ALA-APA for information.

The ALA-Allied Professional Association thanks Gold level sponsor American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and Silver level sponsors DEMCO and Thomson for their generous support of National Library Workers Day.

Contact the ALA-APA Office if you have any questions or want to tell us how you will be celebrating - 800-545-2433, x2424 or jgrady@ala.org.
