Looking ahead to February

As if we needed one more reason to love and celebrate libraries in February--the 2012 West Virginia Snapshot Day is scheduled for Tuesday, February 14th--Valentine's Day.  

Since February is already National Library Lovers' Month, media focus increases patron awareness, comments, and attendance on the local level.  By adding Snapshot Day to a long-standing national event, libraries can take advantage of the attention generated by the national event.  

All types of libraries are encouraged to participate and submit photographs and data.  These items are collected, posted, and then taken to Washington, D.C.,  for Library Legislative Day.

WV Library Snapshot Day Public Service Announcement

Library Television Network has pulled together images from Snapshot Day to create a public service announcement to air on stations in your area. Interested libraries should contact LTN to request a customized copy to deliver to local media outlets.

Library Snapshot Day 04.21.10

The Library Commission has posted a special Snapshot Day web page where promotional materials, survey forms, and eventually comments, numbers, pictures and videos will be posted. Every academic, public, school and special library in West Virginia is encouraged to participate. The larger the numbers, the greater the impact.

 Start planning your events for April 21st. Line up your photographers and videographers. Plan a special event for the day so that you can capture it in story and photos. Watch the Snapshot Day web page and WVLC E-Bulletin for additional developments.
