It's National Library Workers Day! Today we recognize library professionals for their expertise and leadership skills in transforming lives and communities through education and lifelong learning. The day also reminds us that library workers serve as community compasses that lead users to endless opportunities for engagement, enrichment, and development. This year has presented significant challenges to library workers. Our amazing staff has been working as hard as ever to keep the Los Gatos Library running safely, providing new services, and fostering lifelong learning for the entire community! #LosGatosLibrary #LosGatos #LosGatosca #TownOfLosGatos #LibrariesOfInstagram #NLWD21
