Participate in SNAPSHOTNY: A Day in the Life of a Library
during the weeks of February 12th — February 25th, 2012!
How do people use library services on a typical day? Wouldn’t you like to document just how busy and essential your library is with statistics, pictures, videos and user comments?
Then join New York’s libraries and participate in SNAPSHOTNY: A Day in the Life of a Library by collecting statistics, comments, and photographs/videos from one day to provide tangible proof that libraries consistently provide invaluable services to our communities, in our schools and on our college campuses.

Ready to join? Then pick a day and collect statistics on:
- How many patron visits?
- How many people used your public computers?
- How many reference questions did your staff answer?
- How many children participated in programs (including school visits as well as library-sponsored programs)?
- How many adults participated in programs?
- What was the total circulation for the day?
- How many hits did your website receive?
And then click HERE to fill in the survey so we can collect your data.
We’d also appreciate it if you ask your patrons why your library is essential to them. Collect their responses and then tell us the top five: HERE
