National Library Week is April 7 – 13 this year. This year's theme, "Ready, Set, Library!", embodies the heart of what libraries stand for in our connected world. All the while, celebrating the vital role of libraries in our communities. The theme for National Library Week 2024 resonates with the fast-paced world we live in, reminding us that libraries are the go-to place. They provide a safe space to connect, learn, and focus on what truly matters.
We have a week full of activities planned during National Library Week and others planned throughout the month. I hope you will mark your calendars and make plans to attend many of the programs we have planned.
