Millions of people across the country visit their libraries every week. What’s the draw? Everything. From young families stopping in for play and story time, to students sketching out their next creative project in a makerspace, and everyone in between, libraries of all kinds help us connect the dots from one part of our journey to the next. Chart your next literary adventure by browsing the stacks or joining a book club. Let an author color your imagination at an author talk, outline your big business idea at an entrepreneur workshop, or trace your history with your library’s genealogy resources. Make your mark and get involved with your library by volunteering or spreading the word. Whatever draws you in, the library has something for everyone. Celebrate National Library Week, April 6 - 12.
