Congratulations on a really easy to understand and very effective way to show how important libraries are. I just love this campaign. I'm glad to hear that it's going to be an annual event.

We got caught flatfooted for this year's - we submitted stats, but didn't get to do much of anything else. It was the "small library, small staff, very busy time" factor. If you could give us lots of notice for next year, we could do a better job.

Kudos to the Committee for giving us this great idea to run with, and all the support stuff to go with it.

West Deptford Free Public Library staff members are updating our library customer template form today. We may even add a few new items for library patrons to check off to make it easier to add our statistics to the new online form.

The first Snapshot Day was held in February when income tax assistance numbers were very high. The high income tax numbers may be replaced with homework help this time around. We are looking forward to uncovering the seasonal changes in the service we provide.
