National Library Week: Worlds Connect @Your Library

It seems to me that everybody and everything has a special week.  You know, there's cornbread week, pet week, music weekgarden week, and the little known National Library Week.  Yep, you heard right!  Did you know that even libraries have their very own week, and this is it:   April 12-18, 2009.  The theme this year is , "Worlds connect @ your library®."  Awesome! 

Worlds DO connect at your library, and our library is YOUR library.  You already know about most of the connections because you're in here every day connecting with your teachers, your friends, your family, and sometimes even strangers. (Didn't your mama tell you not to talk to strangers?) 

The American Library Association is our flagship organization, and they advocate for us, which ulitmately means they advocate for YOU.  We're all about providing services and facilities that people need to enhance their lives in whatever way is beneficial: with education, entertainment, and social interaction.  

If you have had a positive experience in this library (or any other), tell us your story.  Maybe someone helped you format a document, find a lost flash drive, get 5 professional articles from physical therapy journals, or taught you how to set up your email.  Whatever the need, we try to meet it. 

Leave your comments and tell the world how much libraries have meant to you.   We'd be lost without you.  Check us out!
