Join us for a day of free performances, arts and crafts, and family-friendly activities for all ages in honor of Day of the Book/Day of the Child! Enjoy food trucks, booths, and cultural enrichment for all.
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries of all types across the country each April.
Libraries play a critical role in the economic vitality of communities by providing internet and technology access, literacy skills, and support for job seekers, small businesses, and entrepreneurs.
Stop by for a visit to celebrate with us during National Library Week, April 23-29.
