FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 3, 2025
TUMWATER, WA - Timberland Regional LIBRARY invites you to join in celebrating National Library Workers Day on April 8, a special occasion to honor our library staff for their expertise and dedication in enriching lives and communities through engagement, enrichment, and lifelong learning.
There are approximately 265 TRL staff members working across 29 different locations, spanning 5 counties and 7,000 square miles. This includes the staff at our library branches, Anywhere Library (our mobile services), as well as the teams in IT, operations, collection services, administration, and more, all working behind the scenes to keep our libraries running smoothly and successfully.
Our staff connect patrons to resources and information, offer innovative programming, and consistently meet the needs of our communities. The many services and resources our local libraries provide wouldn't be possible without their hard work and dedication.
To show our appreciation for our staff and the work they do year-round, we invite members of the community to share a testimonial about a favorite library employee. Patrons are welcome to share stories on how library staff have made an impact on their lives or community. These testimonials will be shared with staff as part of National Library Week April 6-12.
Join us in celebrating the incredible contributions of our library staff by sharing your stories and appreciation-because their dedication makes our libraries the heart of our communities.
