National Library Week
2021-04-04 08:00 - 2021-04-10 17:00 (America/Chicago)
Welcome to Your Library is this years theme during National Library Week.
Natalie Portman is the 2021 National Library Week Honoray Chair.

“The theme for National Library Week (April 4-10, 2021), “Welcome to Your Library,” promotes the idea that libraries extend far beyond the four walls of a building – and that everyone is welcome to use their services. During the pandemic libraries have been going above and beyond to adapt to our changing world by expanding their resources and continuing to meet the needs of their users. Whether people visit in person or virtually, libraries offer opportunities for everyone to explore new worlds and become their best selves through access to technology, multimedia content, and educational programs.” (above statement taken from the ala.org website). Be sure to go to the ALA web site to see all the things happening during this week.
