What brings you Library Joy?
We’d love to know! Please share with us during National Library Week, April 19 – 25. Simply stop by the library any day that week, bring a pen, and share a note about how you find your Library Joy. We also invite you to enter our drawing to win a free Library Joy mug, t-shirt, hat, or Born to Read onesie.
The Library Foundation & Friends and the Library are hosting a packed week of activities. From celebrating the right to read, to following our Library on the Go outreach van’s voyage to local neighborhoods, to enjoying free coffee and donuts during our Library Resources Fair, engaging in Library Joy has never been easier.
Please check out our schedule of events.
We hope you will joy-n us!
