National Library Week

 This week, the week of 23-29 April, is being observed as National Library Week. This year's theme is "There’s More to the Story." This theme is designed to promote the fact that, although libraries are full of stories in a variety of formats from picture books to large print, audiobooks to ebooks, and more, there is much more to the story. Libraries of Things lend items like museum passes, games, musical instruments, and tools. Library programming brings communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, movie nights, crafting classes, and lectures. Library infrastructure advances communities, providing internet and technology access, literacy skills, and support for businesses, job seekers, and entrepreneur.

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country each April. It is designed to be a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries - public, school, academic, and special - and librarians and to promote library use and support.
