Communities nationwide will celebrate the contributions of libraries and library workers during National Library Week, April 13-19, 2014. This year’s theme is “Lives Change @ your library.”
Libraries provide enrichment, enlightenment and entertainment, with free access to books, digital media and online resources. In challenging economic times, they also offer opportunity, with business centers that help support entrepreneurship and retraining.
April 15 is National Library Workers Day, a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers.
On April 16, National Bookmobile Day celebrates our nation’s bookmobiles and the dedicated library professionals who provide this valuable and essential service to their communities every day.
April 17 is Celebrate Teen Literature Day, which raises awareness among the general public that young adult literature is a vibrant, growing genre with much to offer today’s teens.
