Celebrate National Library Week 2015 (April 12-18, 2015) with the theme
"Unlimited possibilities @ your library®."
First sponsored in 1958, National Library
Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association
(ALA) and libraries across the country each April. It is a time to celebrate
the contributions of our nation's libraries and librarians and to promote
library use and support. All types of libraries - school, public, academic and
special - participate.
Childrens’ Book Week
Established in 1919,
Children's Book Week is the longest-running literacy initiative in the country.
Held from May 4 – 10 in 2015, books for young people and the joy of reading
will be celebrated for a full week with book-related events at schools,
libraries, bookstores, museums, & homes from coast to coast! Show your
support for the transformative power of literacy by visiting www.bookweekonline.com.
Children’s Book Week is
administered by Every Child a Reader, the CBC Foundation, and is sponsored by
the Children's Book Council.
The Heritage librarians would like to celebrate April 13th-17th by offering a “bonus book” checkout during their usual library class time to those students who don’t have any overdue items.
Also, May 8 is the last day for checkout, and all library
items should be returned by Friday, May 15.
