This Week is National Library Week...
National Library Week will be observed April 13-19, 2008 with the theme, "Join the circle of knowledge @ your library®."
First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote library use and support. All types of libraries - school, public, academic and special - participate.
Many school libraries also celebrate the month of April as School Library Media Month sponsored by the American Association of School Librarians, a division of ALA, with the same theme as National Library Week. National Library Workers Day, celebrated the Tuesday of National Library Week (April 15, 2008), is a day for library staff, users, administrators and Friends groups to recognize the valuable contributions made by all library workers.
If you are close to a library, one of the greatest gifts that you can give children is a library card. For many years, I have gotten cards for each of the children in may care (with the parents' permission of course". It is often fun to take a short "field trip" to the library to read some books. Take this opportunity to celebrate libraries and the foster a lifelong love of books...
