Celebrate National Library Week with us from April 6 – 12
National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.
National Library Week 2025: Drawn to the Library!
Millions of people across the country visit their libraries every week. What’s the draw? Everything. From young families stopping in for play and storytime, to seniors seeking tech help and everyone in between, libraries help us connect the dots from one part of our journey to the next. Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone.
What’s the Draw this week?
Enjoy a StoryWalk around the library’s property this week. A StoryWalk is an outdoor activity that combines literacy with physical activity. Pages from a children’s picture book are displayed along a path to encourage families to read and walk together.
The Prize Wheel will make an appearance at the front desk on Wednesday, April 9 and Friday, April 11. Spin once per day for the chance to win fun freebies!
