National Library Week 2025: 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. This year's theme is "Drawn to the Library." Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone.
