National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities.
Millions of people across the country visit their libraries every week. From young families stopping in for play and story time, to students sketching out their next creative project in a makerspace, 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.
There are several celebration days throughout National Library Week, including:
Monday: Right to Read Day, a day for readers, advocates, and library lovers to take action to protect, defend, and celebrate the right to read
Tuesday: National Library Workers Day, a day for library staff, users, administrators, and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers.
Wednesday: National Library Outreach Day, a day to celebrate library outreach and the dedicated library professionals who are meeting their patrons where they are.
Thursday: Take Action for Libraries Day, a day to rally advocates to support libraries.
We will be spotlighting our dedicated staff and the great work they are doing in communities across NCW throughout the week. Follow NCW Libraries’ Facebook and Instagram accounts to view photo galleries.
To get started, our Collections Team has curated a list of books around the themes of libraries, librarians, books and reading.
