Celebrate National Library Week

Celebrate National Library Week with a badge
from Libraries Thriving and Credo Reference

National Library Week is an annual celebration of libraries in the United States. Each April, libraries across the country spend this week promoting library use and publicizing libraries’ contributions to our communities.  This year, Libraries Thriving and Credo Reference are joining together to host a virtual celebration of libraries.
