Canadian Library Support Staff Day Proclamation

Keith Walker, Canadian Library Association President writes: "Support staff are essential to the success of Canada's libraries. They perform invaluable service that is worthy of national recognition and I am pleased that we are able to do so during October. Canadian Library Month is celebrated in October and we will recognize the library support staff on Friday, October 15, 2010 as the Canadian Library Support Staff Day. The purpose of the day is to recognize and show deep appreciation for the work of Library Technicians, Library Assistants, Library Clerks, Pages, Shelvers, and all other support staff members who perform daily miracles in our Canadian public, private, school, government, academic, and corporate libraries. On behalf of the Canadian Library Association / Association canadienne des bibliothèque I am very pleased to proclaim October 15, 2010 as Canadian Library Support Staff Day"
