Participating in the #MyLibrary promotion is a quick, easy way to help your library thrive! If you love your library, say it loud and proud: vocal community support helps libraries secure much-needed funding and reminds hardworking library staff that their efforts are appreciated. The promotion starts Sunday, April 3 at noon CT and ends on Saturday, April 9 at noon CT. We'll gather all the entries, and one randomly selected winner will receive a $100 Visa gift card. Tell us by posting to Instagram, Twitter, or on the I Love Libraries Facebook page. Did you find a great book? Get access to computers? Attend a great program or storytime? Did you make new friends at the library’s book club?

State of America's Libraries Report 2022Īs National Library Week Honorary Chair Molly Shannon says, "Libraries are places where communities connect-to things like broadband, computers, programs and classes, books, movies, video games, and more." During National Library Week 2022, we're asking you to share the connections you've made thanks to your library.
