Sussex County libraries to close Friday, Oct. 3 for staff development day

Most public libraries in Sussex County will be closed Friday, Oct. 3, 2014, for the annual Sussex County Staff Development Day.

Staff from 13 public libraries throughout Sussex County will meet at Delaware Technical & Community College in Georgetown for the 24th annual conference, a daylong session to study current trends and core services. This year includes humanities program development, intellectual freedom and the “technology playground.”

Libraries in Sussex County strive to provide residents with first-rate library service. To support this mission, the Sussex County Department of Libraries provides continuing education and professional staff development for the three County-owned libraries, the County-owned Mobile Library, commonly known as the Bookmobile, and the 11 independent libraries.

Concurrent sessions throughout the day will be provided by nationally-recognized library and community leaders.

Libraries will reopen at their regularly scheduled times on Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014. For more information on library hours, contact your local library.
