We'd be much the poorer without them, and the vast contribution that library activities make to the social and cultural fabric of our communities is immeasurable," MidCoast Council Libraries and community services manager, Christ Jones said.
"To keep delivering the huge range of services and activities we offer each year, it's important to make sure our library staff receive the best development we can offer them," Mr Jones said.
To facilitate this, all libraries will be closed for one day, on Monday, May 3 to allow all library employees to attend a staff development day.
"The annual staff development day plays a very important part in making sure MidCoast Council Libraries delivers the best service possible to the community," Mr Jones said.

"With libraries operating from locations right across Mid Coast for many staff it's the one day of the year they get to meet the rest of the team.
"We use the day to share ideas, undertaking training and to build the team, all with the aim of delivering better service to our communities.
"Even though our last community survey of over 1000 library users showed 97 per cent of respondents rated our customer service very highly, we're still looking to be better every day and exceed our customer's expectations."
Be sure to visit your library over the next two weeks and stock up on borrowed items or get your library fix, Mr Jones said.
The libraries will be back to normal operating hours from Tuesday, May 4.
"We can't wait to see what they will deliver this year."
