National Library Week: Create your own story @ your library
What is National Library Week?
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. It 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.
We love our libraries! They offer us access to loads of free materials and information. Check out the list of Library contests below for your chance to win great prizes as we celebrate National Library Week:
