Celebrate National Library Week April 14-20
Communities matter @ your library®
Nebraska libraries will join libraries in schools, campuses and communities nationwide in celebrating National Library Week, a time to highlight the value of libraries, librarians and library workers. Activities are planned in libraries across Nebraska to demonstrate that Nebraska communities matter and that Nebraska libraries are the heart of our communities. In support of these efforts, the Nebraska Library Commission has placed newspapter ads statewide encouraging your local citizens to come into the library to use your public access computer(s). Please comment below and share your National Library Week experiences. NLW_ad_1 833×4 (2)
