Welcome back to school everyone, and welcome to National Library Week! That's right, a whole week devoted to celebrating the awesomeness of the most wonderful place in your community: your library! There are several mini-celebrations within the larger celebration of Library Week as well:
I hope you take time this week to visit the Media Center and your local public library, check out an exciting new book, find out how we're celebrating National Poetry Month, and relax in a welcoming space!
- National Library Workers Day, Tuesday of National Library Week (April 14, 2015), a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers;
- National Bookmobile Day, Wednesday of National Library Week (April 15, 2015), a day to recognize the contributions of our nation's bookmobiles and the dedicated professionals who make quality bookmobile outreach possible in their communities; and
- Celebrate Teen Literature Day, Thursday of National Library Week (April 16, 2015), aimed at raising awareness among the general public that young adult literature is a vibrant, growing genre with much to offer today's teens.
I hope you take time this week to visit the Media Center and your local public library, check out an exciting new book, find out how we're celebrating National Poetry Month, and relax in a welcoming space!
