👏Congratulations, @worcesterpubliclibrary  on your John Cotton Dana (JCD) Award!  Each year, the ALA honors exceptional public relations efforts to elevate the awareness and impact of library services with the JCD award.  Worcester Public Library's "March Meowness" captured attention across the nation by eliminating barriers to library access by waiving fees in exchange for photos of cats. 🐈
