On Thursday, February 18, the Granby Public and Cossitt Library joined other libraries all over Connecticut in taking a "Snapshot" of the impact that Connecticut libraries have on their communities on a typical day.  Snapshot Day is a joint project of the Connecticut Library Association, the Connecticut State Library and the Connecticut Library Consortium.  The project was created by the New Jersey State Library and the New Jersey Library Association.
