Happy National Library Workers Day

April 8, 2025 is National Library Workers Day. It is a day for where libraries and communities across the United State celebrate the important work of library employees. The observance began in 2003 by the American Library Association to “recognize the hard work, dedication, and expertise of library support staff and librarians.” Library employees are well-known and respected for providing access to books, promoting literacy and preserving written materials. These tasks alone take specialized skills and years to master. Library employees, however, do so much more. In an age where the world has more information than ever, library employees teach community members to navigate, understand and evaluate information. Furthermore, Library employees provide a welcoming place for all members of the community. Our team at LCC library does all of these things, and as the director I am proud of all of their work, their innovative ideas and projects, and their professionalism. I encourage you to visit the LCC Library and your local public library to meet all the great people and try their great services!John SzilagyiLansing Community College Library Director...
