National Library Week, April 8-14

Coming soon, to a library near you: National Library Week. Read all about it on Facebook or Twitter, watch videos on YouTube, or visit your local library to join the celebration. The overall campaign is national, but individual events are extremely local.

In Chattanooga, Dalton College's library is presenting local authors for a week of discussion. Clearfield, Pennsylvania is using the week to kick off the library's participation in the statewide One Book, Every Young Child project. Jamestown, New York is hosting a local art exhibit and bringing children to the library for games and readings during school spring break. Tucson's libraries, like those in many cities, are participating in the Food for Fines program during the week--bring a can or package of food and reduce overdue fines.

Check out what your local library is doing next week and every week!
