It’s National Library Week!
Did you know that April 11 – 16 is National Library Week?
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation’s libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support. All types of libraries – school, public, academic and special – participate.
Our library is celebrating with our 3rd Annual Author Fair from 2 – 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 16 and a lecture on how to publish your own book just prior to that from 1 – 2 p.m.
