Libraries work because we do!

On January 25, 2003, a resolution was proposed:

That in order to recognize the hard work, dedication, and expertise of library support staff and librarians that the Tuesday of National Library Week be designated National Library Workers Day; and, that on that day, interested library workers, library groups, and libraries should advocate for better compensation for all library workers and, if the day coincides with National Pay Equity Day, these individuals, groups, and libraries should recognize both days together.

On June 24, 2003, at the 2002–2003 Annual Conference in Toronto, Canada, the resolution was approved by the ALA Council to honor library workers on National Library Workers Day, which will be held on the Tuesday of National Library Week each year.
