The Buena Park Library encourages all community members to visit the library during National Library Week, April 23-29, to explore all we have to offer.
 
Most people know about the wealth of stories available at the library, from picture books and large print to audiobooks and ebooks. But there's so much more to the story of libraries. 
 
Libraries are welcoming spaces that bring communities together for entertainment, education, and connection through book clubs, storytimes, lectures, and more. Buena Park Library offers a wide array of programs, classes and resources, including ukuleles, boomboxes, park passes, and mobile hot spots.
 
And 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. Buena Park Library supports the Buena Park community with services such as online learning platforms with cutting-edge courses and career development assistance to job seekers. 
 
This National Library Week, we invite everyone to visit the Library to find out the rest of our story.
