School Libraries Celebrate Nat'l Library Week 2019!

How does your school library help to build a strong school community?

How does your library contribute to the community in which your students live?

Is your library a community in and of itself?

These are questions to think about as we seek to cultivate connection and harmony in a world that can be divided and discordant.

This week it's time to celebrate National Library Week and focus on community and what that looks like in the library, in the school, and in the place you live. 



Visit ALA National Library Week for free digital graphics, printables, sample media posts, and a video from year's spokesperson, Melinda Gates.
