National Library Week

National Library Week

March 30, 2024

Join us in celebrating National Library Week starting April 7 through April 13.

National Library Week is a time to celebrate our nation’s libraries, library workers’ contributions and promote library use and support. The theme for National Library Week 2024 is “Ready, Set, Library,” illustrating the idea that in our always-online world, libraries give us a green light to something truly special: a place to connect with others, learn new skills, and focus on what matters most.
