Canadian Library Support Staff Day Proclamation

Support staff are essential to the success of Canada's libraries. They perform invaluable service that is worthy of national recognition and I am pleased that we are able to do so during October.

Canadian Library Month is celebrated in October and we will recognize Friday, October 21, 2011 as Canadian Library Support Staff Day. The purpose of the day is to celebrate and show our appreciation for the work of library technicians, library assistants, library clerks, pages, shelvers, and all other support staff members who perform daily miracles in our public, private, school, government, academic, and corporate libraries.

On behalf of the Canadian Library Association I am very pleased to proclaim October 21, 2011 as "Canadian Library Support Staff Day".
