Appreciating Library Workers

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
AFSCME Locals 2477 and 2910, which represent workers at the Library of Congress, signed up 22 new members during National Library Workers Day on Tuesday, April 15. The two locals designated Tuesday Library of Congress Staff Appreciation Day as part of National Library Week, when communities across the nation honor the contributions of the employees who make libraries happen. The locals set up tables outside the Madison Snack Bar during lunchtime and distributed "fun tokens of appreciation" and held a free raffle. Non-members who joined the Employees Union or the Guild received an instant $50 cash rebate on their dues.
