Happy National Library Week! (April 6 – 12)

By admin|April 4th, 2025|Adults, Library News, Youth|

National Library Week is a time to celebrate libraries, the contributions of library workers, and to promote library use and support. The theme for National Library Week 2025 is “Drawn to the Library." During this week take time to discover (or re-discover) what draws people into the library! Visit the library and bring your friends or family along. Encourage a friend to get a library card—it’s a simple act that opens up a world of opportunity. Browse the shelves, join a book club, or attend a storytime. Libraries connect us to ideas, information, and each other—and they’re built for everyone.
