Drawn to the Library! with National Library Week

Drawn to the Library! with National Library Week

April 1, 2025

Join us in celebrating National Library Week beginning April 6 through April 12.

National Library Week is a time to celebrate our nation’s libraries, library workers’ contributions, and to promote library use and support. In 2025, the theme for National Library Week is “Drawn to the Library!”  What draws people to their library? Everything!

From young families stopping in for play and storytime, to students sketching out their next creative project, to seniors seeking tech help and everyone in between, libraries of all kinds help us connect the dots from one part of our journey to the next. Chart your next literary adventure by browsing the stacks or joining a book club. Let an author color your imagination at an author talk, outline your big business idea with the help of online resources, or trace your history with your library’s genealogy resources.

Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone.

Check out these other ways we are celebrating libraries this week:
