National Library Week events set locally

Brumback Library information

The Brumback Library will celebrate National Library Week April 13-18.  This year’s theme, “Unlimited Possibilities at Your Library,” seeks to recognize the contributions of the nation’s libraries, while also promoting library use and support.

National Library Week began in 1958 as an event sponsored by the American Library Association.  Each year a variety of programs and activities are held at libraries across the United States to celebrate the resources, activities and services offered to the public.

A number of activities have been planned at the Main Library and at each of the five branch sites in honor of the weeklong celebration, as follows:
