A month-long celebration of school, public and private libraries of all types. This is a time for everyone, especially library support groups, to recognize the value of libraries and to work to ensure that the nation’s libraries will continue to serve.
It’s important to understand that not everything is available on the internet (yet), and libraries can have vast digital stores of qualitative and quantitative information escaping from opinion led snippets and snapshots from online. It’s also important to know that libraries offer services that aren’t available on the internet, including free assistance in finding obscure information and borrowing a book that may not be available in the admittedly immense catalog one can find on the internet. One of the things that people often forget is that being a librarian isn’t like getting a job at the local supermarket.
