National Library Week

Celebrate National Library Week, April 8-14, 2012. Whether studying for classes or accessing books, videos, cd's or the internet, it's likely that you have spent a considerable amount of time either in libraries or using the databases and resources they provide to their patrons. National Library Week is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support.

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.

Watch a short video interview with author & host of the History Channel's "Decoded", Brad Meltzer, honorary chair of National Library Week, on the Value of Libraries & Librarians in people's lives.
