It's National Library week all week 4/19-4/25, 2020. #Nationallibraryweek #Librariesstrong
Every year in April, we get to celebrate a whole week in honor of libraries and give shout outs to all of the valuable librarians and library workers. They play an amazing role in transforming people's lives and they have the superpower of strengthening our communities.
This year's theme is very relatable "Find your place at the library," fits very well with what is happening right now, with our country all staying at home. The pandemic is affecting all of us across the nation, which has forced most libraries to shut their doors to the public. The amazing thing is that librarians and library staff, they don't give up that easily. Our motto through all of this pandemic has been "We are here for you" and we know that the library is your place and a safe haven for many. Libraries have taken to going online and virtual. We know that providing virtual services and digital content is what everyone needs more than ever right now. If you go to ccclib.org you can get an eCard and then you will have access to eBooks, movies, music, and a plethora of educational databases. We are now also offering Online Storytimes and we will keep on creating more engaging activities because we love our communities. We want you to stay safe inside and access the library from the comfort of your home.
We'll be doing our celebration online and through social media. This year you will see lots of posts on social media and we invite you to join in with us.

Until next time,
Mrs. Librarian Lady
