“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library.”–Albert Einstein
to take part in the festivities and explore all the library has to offer. Libraries give us a green light to experience something truly special: a place to connect with others, learn new skills, and pursue our passions through book clubs, story times, movie nights, crafting classes, lectures, and more. Your library offers a wide array of programs, classes and resources, including book clubs, crafting croups, state park passes, learning kit, meeting spaces, and more depending on your library’s size are resources.
And libraries play a pivotal role in economic development and supports your community by providing resources and support for job seekers, entrepreneurs, and small businesses. Your library also supports your community every time you visit another place in your community on your way to or from the library. No matter where you find yourself on the roadmap through life’s journey—preparing for a new career, launching a business, raising a family, or settling into retirement—your library offers the resources and support you need and an inclusive and supportive community where you will feel welcome.
So, get ready to explore, become inspired, and connect with others this National Library Week. Your library is there for you, all the way to the finish line.
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types across the country each April. For more information, visit your library’s website shown below.
