“Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life.” – Sidney Sheldon
What draws people to the library? Everything! From books and digital resources to job assistance and creative programming, libraries are essential to thriving communities.
National Library Week, celebrated April 6–12, 2025, is a time to recognize the many ways libraries bring people together, spark imagination, and support lifelong learning. Whether you’re a longtime patron or haven’t visited in a while, now is the perfect time to explore all your library has to offer.
Libraries provide much more than books—they offer story times, book clubs, wellness programs, free Wi-Fi, digital collections, workshops, and makerspaces. These services ensure that everyone has access to resources that educate, inspire, and connect. No matter what stage of life you’re in—starting a new career, launching a business, raising a family, or embracing retirement—the library is here to support your journey.
Libraries serve as vibrant hubs for learning and creativity, offering opportunities to explore new ideas, discover passions, and build connections. This National Library Week, take time to rediscover your library and experience firsthand how it enriches our community. Whether you’re borrowing books, attending an event, or simply enjoying a welcoming space, your library is here for you.
First celebrated in 1958, National Library Week is a nationwide observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types. Join the celebration by visiting your library and following them on social media!
