National Library Week

Join us as we celebrate libraries for a whole week! 

First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week (NLW) as observed in the United States is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the USA each April, typically the second full week. It promotes library use and support.

National Library Week occurs in April which is School Library MonthNational Library Workers Day (Tuesday of the week), National Bookmobile Day, and Support Teen Literature Day (Thursday of the week) all occur during National Library Week. Each year the week has a new theme. The theme of the first sponsored week in 1954 was "Wake Up and Read!" and 2021's theme is "There's More to the Story."
