A Celebration of Libraries In April
Throughout
April, libraries find different ways to acknowledge National Library
Week. This years, the Wellesley campus hosted speakers. Framingham
campus had a display in honor of National Library Week’s 2018 theme
“Libraries Lead.” We also honored NLW by hanging flyers around campus in celebration of this week.
What is “National Libraries Week?”
From the American Library Association website:
National
Library Week will be observed April 8-14, 2018 with the theme, “Libraries
Lead.” 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.
National
Library Week is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation’s libraries
and library workers and to promote library use and support.
From free
access to books and online resources to library centers that help support
patrons, libraries offer opportunity to all.
