National Library Worker’s Day

This year Tuesday, April 12th has been designated National Library Worker’s Day. Please take a minute to acknowledge or express your appreciation to a library staff member who has provided you with assistance or help in any way.  Speaking from experience, those of us who have chosen librarianship as a career have done so because of the great reward that comes from helping others and we hope we have made a positive difference in your learning experience here at Gateway.

National Library Week

April 11 – April 17 has been designated National Library Week with the theme: “Communities thrive @ your library”.  Gateway library provides print and electronic resources for both academic and personal enrichment. Also, did you know when you have a current public library card from your hometown, you can borrow items from any other public library in the state? Stop by any library this week and enjoy!
