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.

The great German lyric poet Rainer Maria Rilke published his first collection of poems in 1898 and went on to become renowned for his delicate depiction of the workings of the human heart. Drawn by some sympathetic note in his poems, young people often wrote to Rilke with their problems and hopes. From 1903 to 1908 Rilke wrote a series of remarkable responses to a young, would-be poet on poetry and on surviving as a sensitive observer in a harsh world. Those letters, still a fresh source of inspiration and insight, are accompanied here by a chronicle of Rilke’s life that shows what he was experiencing in his own relationship to life and work when he wrote them.
