Event Description

National Library Week 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.

National Library Week will be observed April 23-29, 2023 with the theme, "There's More to the Story."

Classroom Activity

Most students think of the library as a place to check out books or use technology, but do you know what else your library has to offer? To find out:

Check out your library:

  • Head to your school and public library during National Library Week to see what's new and participate in all they have to offer.

Visit your library online:

  • If you can’t make it to your libraries, visit their website or social media pages to learn about programs and services offered.

Invite in your librarian:

  • Librarians are a wealth of knowledge, about the library itself and all they have to offer. Talk with your librarians to learn more!

Websites
