High Five a Librarian Day: Celebrating the Champions of Curiosity
Today is High Five a Librarian Day, a joyful celebration of the people who spark imagination, guide young minds, and help students find the stories that stay with them for life. Libraries may hold thousands of books, but it is librarians who bring those books to life.

So let us celebrate them properly.

The Library Behind the Librarian
Great librarians create magic, but even the most passionate library team thrives when supported by tools that help them do more of what they love. That is where Hedgehog and 247lib.com come in.
Hedgehog offers simple, trusted tools for cataloguing, circulation, and managing everyday library tasks. It is easy for staff and volunteers to use, helping them focus on supporting readers rather than wrestling with administration.
247lib.com builds on that simplicity with a modern, cloud based platform. It allows students and staff to explore the library catalogue from anywhere and at any time. It also provides valuable insights into reading trends, popular titles, and borrowing patterns, giving librarians the information they need to inspire students even more effectively.
Both systems give librarians the freedom to spend less time managing and more time engaging, encouraging, and connecting with readers.
Because when librarians have the right tools, they can create even more moments worth high fiving.
A Celebration That Lasts Beyond Today
High Five a Librarian Day is more than a one day event. It is a reminder of the vital role librarians play in literacy, creativity, and community. It is a chance to say thank you for the countless ways they help students grow.
So today, and every day, let us celebrate the people who keep our libraries thriving and who inspire the next generation of readers.
