About Snapshot Day

Libraries are busier than ever, providing incredible service in these challenging economic times.  What if libraries went away, even for a day? What would the impact be on our state and the people we serve? What would happen if there were no libraries? 

Library Snapshot Day is a local, state and national initiative designed to dramatically answer these questions and illustrate the value of academic, public, and school libraries. 

More about Library Snapshot Day

The concept originated in New Jersey as a joint effort between the New Jersey Library Assn. and the New Jersey State Library. Soon after, many states began emulating the effort. At the 2010 ALA Midwinter Meeting, the ALA Advocacy Coordinating Group, in conjunction with the Chapter Relations Committee and COSLA, agreed to take this initiative to a national level, asking that states across the country find a date this April to conduct a Library Snapshot Day.
