National Library Week
Millions of people across the country visit their library each week. What’s the draw? Everything! From young families stopping in for play and storytime, to students sketching out their next creative project in a makerspace, to seniors seeking tech help and everyone in between, libraries of all kinds help us connect the dots from one part of our journey to the next. Chart your next literary adventure by browsing the stacks or joining a book club. Make your mark and get involved with your library by volunteering or spreading the word. Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone. Celebrate National Library Week, April 6 - 12, 2025.
Celebration Days:
Monday, April 7: Right to Read Day, a day for readers, advocates, and library lovers to take action to protect, defend, and celebrate the right to read.
