Snapshot: A day in the life of Volusia County Public Library
VCPL took part in a statewide effort to document the many ways people use library services on Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Visit the Florida Library Association for state-wide results.
Library staff took pictures of activities, gathered statistics on usage and collected customer comments showing how patrons used their libraries that day. The Florida Library Association, which coordinated the effort, will post results online.
