Thank you for celebrating National Library Week with us! We appreciate your support of the library, and are so grateful for the displays of library love from you throughout the week in-person and on our social media.

From our self-service, community-donated Seed Library, to resources for financial help or genealogy, to early literacy opportunities, this week celebrated the way libraries give us a green light to connect to others, learn new skills, and discover something new. No matter where you find yourself on the roadmap through life's journey—preparing for a new career, launching a business, or raising a family—the library provides an inclusive and supportive community where everyone belongs.

Even though National Library Week has ended, you can always visit the library and create, explore, and discover something new!

Looking for books to add to your collection? Our Friends of the Library are hosting a book sale! Browse our collection in Meeting Room A&B at the Bowling Green Library on:

Friday, April 19 from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm

Saturday, April 20 from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm

Show & Tell isn’t just for kids anymore! History enthusiasts love a good artifact with a story. Bring an item you have that is connected to the history of Wood County and share its story with others. Local History Librarian, Marnie Pratt, will also show a hidden treasure or two from the library’s collections. Register here.

Camp-in-a-Box is a STEM-focused, hour-long program designed for students K-5. Designed and funded by Ohio Learns 360 and the Ohio Department of Education, and made available to WCDPL by WBGU-PBS, students will learn about a variety of things.
