National Library Week will be held April 9-14 and will be recognized in communities across the country. National Library Week is a time to remind the public about the contributions libraries, librarians and library workers make to their communities each day.
It is also a time to take advantage of the great resources, services and events that libraries have to offer.
Stop by the library on this fun-filled week to take advantage of the free activities and meet the library staff. Popcorn will be served all week and there will be bookmarks and bags to hand out.
