Celebrate National Library Week!

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 students sketching out their next creative project in a study room, to seniors seeking tech help and everyone in between, libraries of all kinds help us connect the dots from one part of our journey to the next. Chart your next literary adventure by browsing the stacks or joining a book club. Let an author color your imagination at an author talk, outline your big business idea at an entrepreneur workshop, or trace your history with your library’s genealogy resources. Make your mark and get involved with your library by volunteering or spreading the word.

Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone. Celebrate National Library Week, April 6 – 12, 2025.

National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities. Whether you’re celebrating your right to read, thanking your favorite librarian, or standing up for libraries in the face of severe funding cuts, we hope you’ll take a moment to appreciate all libraries (not just us!) do and everything that draws you here.

This year, we’re encouraging our staff and patrons to dress up to show our library spirit! If you’re visiting the library this week – and we hope you are! – wear something on theme for a high-five from us.
