National Library Week
We will be celebrating National Library Week from April 9, 2017 - April 15, 2017, this year.
During this week, we celebrate the contributions of libraries and librarians to our communities and promote library use and support.
Come visit and support your local library, learn about the services we offer our patrons and members of our community, and add your name to our drawing for library-themed prizes.
We will contact the winners of our drawing the following week.
Happy National Library Week!
