Celebrate National Library Week!

National Library Week is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support.  All types of libraries - school, public, academic and special - participate.

National Library Week will be observed April 7-13, 2019 with the theme, "Libraries = Strong Communities."

Most students think of the library as a place to check out books or use technology, but do you know what else your library has to offer? To find out:

Check out your library:

• Head to your school and public library during National Library Week to see what's new and participate in all they have to offer.

Visit your library online:

• If you can’t make it to your libraries, visit their website or social media pages to learn about programs and services offered.

Invite in your librarian:

• Librarians are a wealth of knowledge, about the library itself and all they have to offer. Talk with your librarians to learn more!
