National Library Week is an annual celebration highlighting the valuable role libraries, librarians, and library workers play in transforming lives and strengthening our communities. This year’s theme, Libraries = Strong Communities, illustrates how today’s libraries are at the heart of our cities, towns, schools and campuses, providing critical resources, programs and expertise. They also provide a public space where all community members, regardless of age, culture or income level, can come together to connect and learn. (ALA) Libraries mean so many things to so many people: they provide free access to media, host fascinating programs and events, and strengthen their communities through education and lifelong learning. Celebrate National Library Week by sharing your library story—how do you library? (ALA)

Happy National Poetry Month! And then our singing  Brought on a different manner of weather.    Then animals long believed gone crept down  From trees. We took new stock of one another.  We wept to be reminded of such color. - from "An Old Story" by Tracy K. Smith
