All over Texas, libraries gathered data, gave out survey forms, and took pictures to capture a “snapshot” of a regular day at their library. Our day was Oct. 30th and it was great! We had over 600 people walk into the library and 187 reference questions were answered. We got great comments on our survey forms like, “This place is important to me.”  Thanks for taking part in our Library Snapshot Day!
