Now in its 45th year, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association and libraries across the country. NLW celebrates the uniqueness and the value of libraries in our communities. All types of libraries participate, including school libraries, public libraries, special libraries - such as medical, law, and corporate libraries, and college and university libraries. Each April the American Library Association chooses a theme to help promote the awareness of libraries and librarians, and their contributions to our nation. This year’s theme is “@ Your Library”, and is intended to portray libraries as places of learning, innovation, and opportunity.
