The recent ILA initiative, Snapshot: One Day in the Life of Illinois Libraries held on Wednesday, February 10 was a wonderful opportunity to showcase the value of all we do. The flickr site created to host pictures has more than 90 libraries posting snapshots!
My own library was inspired to create a Snapshot Booklet, which we are using as an outreach platform to increase awareness, support, and promote beneficial partnerships. These special snapshot day booklets include pictures, statistics, and customer comments. They will be provided to elected officials as part of our "Personal Visit Initiative 2010" as a visual reminder that underscores the vibrancy of library services, activities, and need for funding/support.
ILA's Advocacy Committee is to be commended for their dedicated work and state promotion of this successful event. I would love to see a National Snapshot Day initiative, wouldn't you?

- A little bit about my synergistic spirit...
- I am proud to call myself a Synergistic Librarian (aka: information specialist, library director and grant writer) who recognizes the value of the collective. Synergy is the combined power & cooperative interaction among people or groups and has been described by Stephen Covey as…“the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” When we unite there is increased strength, leadership, knowledge and vision.
