Snapshot Day

The Centralia Regional Library Disctrict wil be joining libraries all across Illinois as we participate in Snapshot Day: A Day in the Life of Illinois Libraries on Wednesday, February 10.

On this day, libraries of all types — public libraries as well as those at schools, colleges, and universities — will be gathering statistics that show just how in-demand libraries are. In addition, you’ll be able to fill out a very brief survey about your library visit, and even provide testimonials about how much you love your library. Libraries will also be encouraged to take pictures to create a photo record of just how popular the library is!

At the end of the day, the data and testimonials will be collected and compiled, and the Illinois Library Association and its members will begin sharing this information with elected officials at all levels, from the village board to the governor, to make sure they know just how valuable libraries are in Illinois today.

Coffee, hot cocoa, and cookies will also be served to customers on Snapshot Day. So remember, visit the library on February 10 to make sure you’re counted!
