Library Snapshot Day November 2, 2011

Make sure you literacy program is recognized in your public library's snapshot day.  Talk with your library to see if they are participating.  If so, coordinate with the library to show library partnerships with literacy programs.  Ask the library to make sure they snap a picture of a tutor with a student working together in your library.  Of course, get the permission of the pair first.  Other ideas for pictures-- your literacy program manager browsing the library's adult literacy collection, photo of a tutor talking with the reference librarian about his/her needs for topics to use in lessons, student taking his family to story time or using the instructional programs on the computer .... or --come up with your own brainchild for a photo and share with VALF too.
