National Library Week

The American Library Association officially proclaims April 10-16, 2011, as National Library Week.  This year's theme is, "Create Your Own Story @ Your Library", and author John Grisham is serving as the honorary chair.

National Library Week was first observed in 1958 (the year I was born!).  It is a time each year for us to celebrate all that libraries and librarians do to enrich our lives.  Do you have a special library memory?  Is there a book that has made a significant impact on your life?

I hope you'll visit your library next week and tell the librarians how much they mean to you!
