We're grateful for public libraries that are providing curbside service or limited capacity entrance to lend out everything from books to hotspots. We're grateful for academic libraries that support the research of students and faculty, including research into COVID-19 vaccines and treatments. We're grateful for school libraries that help students with both virtual and in-person learning. We're grateful for special libraries that support work-from-home and onsite employees and that collect and provide access to specialized resources that remind us where we came from, help us get through today, and allow us to build a bright future. We're grateful for library workers that put on a mask and open the door, answer the phones and chat, host virtual programs and classes, provide on-on-one small business support, distribute free meals and diapers, run outdoor story times, order new materials and make them findable, wrangle databases, and serve all types of patrons in creative ways. Missouri is lucky to have you all the time, but especially this year! Missouri Library Association wishes all of you a safe and happy Thanksgiving! ... See MoreSee Less
