The Nevada Library Association has invited all Nevada libraries to participate in the 2012 2nd Annual Snapshot Day. 

Snapshot Day is intended to assist in providing trustees, friends, patrons, and library staff with information about Nevada libraries for the purpose of advocacy on both state and federal levels. The University Libraries have chosen Tuesday, October 30 as our official Snapshot Day. 

The Libraries will submit to our state organization statistics and photos to illustrate a typical day in our libraries. Participating libraries will then share this information with each other and the public through our respective websites.
