National Library Week is a time to celebrate our nation's libraries, library workers' contributions, and promote library use. 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.
The theme for National Library Week 2022 is "Connect With Your Library."
