Celebrate National Library Week 2015
April 12-18, 2015
"Unlimited possibilities @ 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.

Chair of National Library Week. Baldacci’s novels
have been translated into more than 45 languages and have been adapted for film
and television. Over 110 million copies of his books are in print
worldwide. In addition, Baldacci is involved with several philanthropic
organizations, including his family’s Wish You Well Foundation®, which fosters
and promotes the development and expansion of literacy and educational programs.

According to The State of America’s Libraries Report 2015 released
April 13 by the American Library Association (ALA), academic, public and school
libraries are experiencing a shift in how they are perceived by their
communities and society. No longer just places for books, libraries of all
types are viewed as community anchors, centers for academic life and research,
and cherished spaces
