National Library Week 2025: Drawn to the Library
Tuesday, April 8: National Library Workers Day
Today is a day for library staff, users, administrators, and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers.
About this day:
On January 25, 2003, a resolution was proposed:
That in order to recognize the hard work, dedication, and expertise of library support staff and librarians that the Tuesday of National Library Week be designated National Library Workers Day; and, that on that day, interested library workers, library groups, and libraries should advocate for better compensation for all library workers and, if the day coincides with Equal Pay Day, these individuals, groups, and libraries should recognize both days together.
UCC Library Workers:
Your friendly UCC Library Staff is here to help! They include:
- Liz Teoli-Thomason, Library Director
- Peggy N., Library Specialist
- Austin J., Library Desk Clerk
- Mindy M., Library Desk Clerk
They can help you with course reserves, technology check outs, book recommendations, database tutorials, citation help, research help, and so much more!
