National Library Week 2021: Welcome to Your Library

The theme for National Library Week (April 4-10, 2021), “Welcome to Your Library,” promotes the idea that your Library extends far beyond the four walls of our buildings – and that everyone is welcome to use our services. During the pandemic, your Library adapted to our changing world by expanding our resources and continuing to meet the needs of your community. Whether people visited in person or virtually, we continue to offer opportunities for everyone to explore new worlds and become their best selves through access to technology, multimedia content, and educational programs.
