Library Snapshot Day! Zoom In On Jewish Libraries

During the week of November 1 - 7, 2010 a single day was selected to show what is going on @ Bialik Library as part of the American Library Association's library advocacy initiative.  This particular week was also chosen by the Association of Jewish Libraries, to highlight the Global Day of Jewish Learning, on November 7, 2010. To help celebrate this, I invited author Alan Silberberg to speak to all the Grade 7 students about his new book, 'Milo'.  About 140 students and teachers were in attendance. Throughout the day,  I took photos and kept a headcount of students and staff using the library.  I also checked the circulation statistics for that date, a typical day at Bialik:
Library users November 1:  130 students and teachers used the library. 
Library Statistics November 1:  40 loans, 14 renewals and 25 returns
Results from all the participating Jewish libraries can be viewed on the 'People of the Books' blog at:
