This week is National Library week and today is National Library Workers Day. In case you haven’t seen the update on our website, The Library has added photos and brief biographies for each member of the staff. Click here to learn more about all of us.
As part of the celebration, we’d love it if you’d send us a brief message about what our Library means to you. Share your anecdotes about how we’ve helped you, what value you’ve found in The Library or what makes this Library dear to your heart. Whether it’s a memorable classroom moment, a particularly great networking event, an Insurance Professional of the Year Award Ceremony yarn, or a quagmire of research that we helped you navigate. SEND US A QUICK EMAIL ABOUT OUR LIBRARY’S VALUE TO YOU. We’ll post it to our social media with the hashtag #mylibrarymystory. Follow along on our social media so you can see all the stories!
