Ask a Librarian Day - February 20, 2009

Although there won't be noisemakers or confetti, librarians all over the state will celebrate Ask a Librarian Day on Feb. 20 to bring awareness to Ask a Librarian, a free online reference service that allows Floridians to chat with a librarian for help with homework or general questions.

Librarians at almost 100 libraries around Florida will don t-shirts boasting the message "Ask me about askalibrarian.org" and will talk about the valuable service with their customers. They hope to enlighten people on the benefits of Ask a Librarian so that everyone can take full advantage of this user-friendly collaborative service.

"Ask a Librarian is such a useful online tool for people," said Diana Silveira, virtual reference manager for Ask a Librarian.
