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

South Coastal Public Library in Bethany Beach, Delaware

Public libraries in Sussex County will be closed Thursday, Oct. 3, 2013 for the annual Sussex County Staff Development Day.

Staff from all 14 public libraries throughout Sussex County will meet at Delaware Technical Community College in Georgetown for the 23rd annual conference, a daylong session to learn about a variety of topics, including virtual reader's advisory and book clubs, mental health awareness, and social media for libraries.

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 and 11 independent libraries.

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

Libraries will reopen at their regularly scheduled times on Friday, Oct. 4, 2013. For more information on library hours, contact your local library.
