“When you absolutely positively have to know, ask a librarian.” ~ American Library Association
February is National Library Lovers Month—a time to celebrate the joy, knowledge, and community that libraries bring into our lives! While Valentine’s Day may take center stage, this month is also for those who love everything about libraries—the books, the programs, and the welcoming spaces that bring people together.
Libraries are more than just books on shelves. They are vibrant community hubs offering access to magazines, DVDs, digital resources, and educational opportunities. Whether you visit to browse new reads, study in a quiet corner, conduct research, or explore job-seeking resources, the library is here for you. Many libraries also host book clubs, story times, craft groups, STEAM learning programs, and summer reading activities, making them a place for people of all ages to learn and connect.
Beyond resources and programs, libraries provide a vital space for conversation and collaboration. They serve as meeting spots for local groups, creative minds, and lifelong learners. They are places where friendships are formed, ideas are sparked, and communities thrive.
What makes your library special to you? We want to hear your Library Love Story! Share how the library has impacted your life—whether it’s a favorite program, a helpful librarian, or a book that changed your perspective. Stop by, call, or submit your story online.
Let’s show our libraries some love this February—they’ll love you right back!
“The most important asset of any library goes home at night – the library staff.” ~ Timothy Healy, (1923-1992. Former President, New York Public Library)
