Lives change at your library-Celebrate National Library Week April 13-19

Live Oak — This week, the Suwannee River Regional Library System joins libraries in schools, campuses and communities nationwide in celebrating National Library Week, a time to highlight the value of libraries, librarians and library workers.  

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.  

Libraries today are more than repositories for books and other resources. Often the hearts of their communities, libraries are deeply committed to the places where their patrons live, work and study. Libraries are trusted places where everyone in the community can gather to reconnect and re-engage with each other to enrich and shape the community and address local issues.

Librarians work with elected officials, small business owners, students and the public at large to discover what their communities needs are and meet them. Whether through offering children’s programs, e-books and technology classes, materials for English-language learners, programs for job seekers, or those to support early literacy, library staff listen to the community they serve and they respond.

Service to the community has always been the focus of the library. While this aspect has never changed, libraries have grown and evolved in how they provide for the needs of every member of their community.

The Suwannee River Regional Library System is celebrating National Library Week with the following programs:
