THE SECOND WEEK OF APRIL is National Library Week, and this year, that falls on April 7th to April 12th.
The U.S. Census Bureau has an article on National Library Week. The American Library Association has one as well, which reads in part:
National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.
This year’s theme, Libraries = Strong Communities, illustrates how today’s libraries are at the heart of our cities, towns, schools and campuses, providing critical resources, programs and expertise. They also provide a public space where all community members, regardless of age, culture or income level, can come together to connect and learn.
Don’t forget to stop in at the J. W. Martin Library sometime this week. Remember that there are three weeks left in the semester, and we are here to assist you with all your research needs.
