National Library Week

This week in the Law Library, we’re celebrating National Library Week! The theme for National Library Week 2021 is “Welcome to Your Library.” During the pandemic, library workers continue to exceed their communities’ demands and adapt resources and services to meet their users’ needs during these challenging times. Whether people visit in person or virtually, libraries offer endless opportunities to transform lives through education and lifelong learning. First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and observed in libraries across the country each April. All types of libraries – school, public, academic and special – participate. Follow  National Library Week activities at our library, the American Library Association, and I Love Libraries on social media by tracking the hashtags:  #NationalLibraryWeek | #LibrariesTransform.

Nominate a Library Star

While we cannot have in-person celebrations, it is still a good time to highlight the critical role library workers play in keeping our libraries running. How about taking our celebrations online? Let’s take this time to flood social media (using the hashtag #NLWD21) with words of gratitude for all library workers. Start by nominating library workers as Stars for the ALA-APA Galaxy of Stars.
Nominate a stellar library worker!
