Nat'l Library Week 2020

April 19-25, 2020 is National Library Week!

The week is a time to celebrate the contributions of our libraries and librarians. It’s also a time to promote how each library serves the needs of its own community. These needs are reflected in their unique collections, in their unique spaces, and in their unique programming and events.




Specific Nat'l Library Week celebrations include:

Monday, April 20 the annual State of America's Libraries Report and the Top Ten Frequently Challenged Books of 2019 are released.

The Top Ten is always an interesting list and one that you can tie in with Banned Books Week in late September.



Tuesday, April 21 is National Library Workers Day.

Thank ALL library workers from the custodial staff to the library director. From the security officer to the clerk and the library board. Everyone matters.



Wednesday, April 22 is National Bookmobile Day.

Fun fact: There are four bookmobiles in South Dakota!



Thursday, April 23 is Take Action for Libraries Day.

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, libraries are standing tall and proud as they continue to serve communities. Please support the ongoing effort to buoy all types of libraries.


P.S. Check out how Harrisburg Libraries are celebrating during the pandemic.
