<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">The Library of Michigan is spearheading an American Library Association (ALA) initiative this summer called Library Snapshot Day. It’s a time for libraries to get out and use data
to demonstrate the value and impact they have on their communities. In Michigan we’re going to share this data via social media. Participation takes place during the week of June 13-17. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:7.5pt;margin-left:0in;line-height:15.6pt;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;box-shadow: none;border-radius: 0px;orphans: auto;text-align:start;widows: 1;-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;word-spacing:0px">
<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">You can participate one day or every day, and contribute via social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest using the hashtag #MiLibSnap.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">The event is scheduled after conference season and is well situated to support summer reading participation. We suggest that you pull stats out of your annual report or collect
data such as door counts between now and snapshot day. The objective is to share the impact of your library on your community in eye-catching ways. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#333333">Some ideas for demonstrating that impact include: Use photos of the staff and facilities to personalize and put a face on your library; promote programming activities, outreach
events, author tours, genealogy, and local history resources; and use stats such as circulation numbers or door counts to make your point. Get creative. You already know what you do best. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
