National Library Week

Help us celebrate National Library Week (April 4 - 10, 2021).  This is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions and promote library use and support.  

The theme for National Library Week 2021 is "Welcome to Your Library." 

During the pandemic, library workers continue to exceed their communities' demands and adapt resources and services to meet their users' needs during these challenging times. Whether people visit in person or virtually, libraries offer endless opportunities to transform lives through education and lifelong learning. 

Stop in the library and get your picture taken with our “library butterfly” and get a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to the Maria Stein Dairy Station.  Also stop in and get our take and make craft, which in April will be a butterfly.  These crafts will be available on a first come first serve basis.
