Allow us to do a little back-patting.

Tuesday, April 9, is National Library Workers Day, and the Kansas City Public Library joins a celebration across the country of the librarians, support personnel, and others who help make our institutions places for community-wide engagement, enrichment, and development.

 
We salute our own staff of stars for:
 

• Sharing their love of knowledge, learning, and reading.
• Helping patrons navigate digital resources, including logging into email accounts and databases.  
• Facilitating our multitude of storytime sessions, laying the foundation for a lifelong love of books and reading.
•  Overseeing monthly events and activities that connect or steer patrons with life challenges to helpful resources.  
• Creating engaging, informative, dynamic programming, from evening speaking presentations to musical and dramatic performances, art exhibits, and children’s and family events.
•  Maintaining access to the Library through all kinds of weather, construction, and technology upgrades.  
• Focusing on the wealth of information and resources available through the Library website.
•  Offering a welcoming smile to everyone.

Join us, won’t you, in telling them “thanks.”
