Canadian Library Support Staff Day Proclamation

Library support staff provide a multitude of essential services in their organizations. Their contribution to Canadian libraries deserves national recognition.

CLA will designate Friday, October 19, 2012 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. This day is recognized during Canadian Library Month, an annual celebration of libraries, library workers, and the services they provide to their communities.

On behalf of the Canadian Library Association I am very pleased to proclaim October 19, 2012 as "Canadian Library Support Staff Day".
