National Library Week 2013

[ En español ]

National Library Week (April 14 - 20, 2013) is a time to celebrate the contributions of our nation's libraries and library workers and to promote library use and support. From free access to books and online resources for families to library business centers that help support entrepreneurship and retraining, libraries offer opportunity to all.

This year's theme is “Communities matter @ your library," reminding all Americans that the library can help you and your family discover a new and exciting world through collections, digital resources and more.

Best-selling author and visionary Caroline Kennedy - also a strong advocate for reading, literacy and libraries - is the Honorary Chair of this years’ celebration.
