Throughout the month of February 2021, share a snapshot on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to show your library love and help document how ACLS makes a difference in your life.

Since the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, New Jersey libraries have pivoted, and found innovative and thoughtful ways to continue to meet the needs of communities throughout the Garden State. From virtual story times to curbside pickup, libraries have continued to answer the calls in their communities. Now it’s time to share those stories.

Using pictures, videos, or posts, you can advocate the incredible services ACLS offers Atlantic County. Show us what you’re reading, watching or listening to. Take a picture of your favorite spot to read at home or take a “shelfie.” Let’s see those grab-n-go crafts or your kids enjoying ACLS’ YouTube channel. Tell us why you use your library, how we have helped you, or what you have discovered at your library today.

Tag your posts, tweets and/or grams with #snapshotNJ and #snapshotACLS.
We will be tracking and re-posting on our social media sites.
